LIVE: South Africa v Morocco | AFCON 2019 | EGYPT

Time: 18:00 Cairo Local Time | 12:00 ET

Venue: Al Salam Stadium

In the soaring temperatures of Egypt, the heat is being turned up as teams fight for a place in the last 16 of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bafana Bafana have their backs against the wall. And we don’t mean the defensive wall with the disappearing foam. They face Morocco in their Group D clash on Monday – and they need a positive result to keep their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 alive.

South Africa’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations has been far from spectacular. Having lost to Ivory Coast and scoring just a single goal in their win against Namibia, they’re now up against a team coached by a man who has two Afcon titles to his name already.

Herve Renard is looking to join an elite club of coaches who have earned a hat trick of titles. Topping the group with a win over South Africa would take him closer to that feat and could spell the end of Bafana Bafana’s tournament.
