South Africa took a slim 1-0 lead against Uganda at half-time during their opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The match, held at the electrifying Orlando Stadium, saw Bafana Bafana capitalize on their home advantage to secure a lead going into the break.

The solitary goal of the first half came courtesy of Lyle Foster, who found the back of the net in the 14th minute.
The forward, known for his sharpness in front of goal, capitalized on a well-worked team move to break the deadlock.

 

Foster’s clinical finish ignited celebrations among the South African supporters, with the home side looking firmly in control during the first 45 minutes.

South Africa began the game with intensity, driven by the energy of the crowd and their determination to start their AFCON qualification campaign on a positive note.

They applied early pressure on Uganda, with swift passing and assertive movement down the flanks.

The breakthrough came when a precise cross found Foster, who wasted no time in converting the opportunity to give his team the lead.

Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, South Africa was unable to extend their lead before the interval.

Uganda, though trailing, showed moments of resilience and were not without their own opportunities.

They struggled to break down a well-organized South African defense but will be hoping for a better showing in the second half.

For Uganda, the half-time break will be a chance to regroup and adjust their tactics.

The Cranes, known for their tenacity and never-say-die attitude, will be looking to push forward in search of an equalizer as they aim to get back into the match.

Their midfield will need to find more control, and they will hope their attack can begin to cause problems for the South African backline.

South Africa, on the other hand, will be focused on maintaining their lead and finishing the job in the second half.

With a narrow 1-0 advantage, Bafana Bafana knows that a second goal would provide much-needed breathing room.

The home side will look to build on their first-half momentum and close out the game to secure a valuable three points in their quest for AFCON qualification.

As the teams prepare to return to the field, the stage is set for an exciting second half.

South Africa will be eager to hold onto their advantage, while Uganda will be determined to fight back and salvage something from the game.

With both teams still in the contest, the next 45 minutes promise to deliver an intriguing battle.
