Angola humiliates Bafana Bafana in CHAN qualifier, knocks them out

South Africa crashed out of qualifiers for the 2022 African Nations Championship to be hosted in Algeria.

As reported by Sports Brief, Bafana Bafana was hammered 4-1 by Angola in the second leg encounter that was held at the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto. This ensured a 6-1 aggregate victory for the Palanca Negras, who won 2-0 in the first leg last weekend.

South Africa has failed to qualify for the tournament since the 2014 edition, which the country hosted and was knocked out in the group stages. This was also the first time a senior Angolan national team - men and women - registered a victory in South Africa.

There'll be much food for thought for coach Hugo Broos who was in the stands while stand-in coach Helman Mkhalele took on his responsibility.
