Despite winning a single match in Group D of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt, Bafana Bafana are through to the Round of 16.
After making it as the best third-placed finisher with three points, the South Africans relied on other teams to reach the knockout stage.
In their group stage campaign, coach Stuart Baxter’s men managed to finish third with three points from a single win over Namibia and two defeats to Cote d’Ivoire and Morocco and their chances to progress were decided on Tuesday.
Just before the games on Tuesday, the 1996 African champions were placed third on the log for the third-placed finishers and hoped Cameroon would beat Benin.
