BAFANA Bafana midfielder Sphephelo
Sithole says the team understands where they have fallen short at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and is confident they can address those issues ahead of their last-16 clash against Cameroon tonight at the Agdal Medina Stadium in Rabat (9pm kickoff).South Africa advanced to the knockout stages for a second straight tournament after finishing runners-up in Group B behind record seven-time champions Egypt.
Their reward is a clash with Cameroon, AFCON champions in 2017, a side eager to move beyond a stage that has troubled them in recent editions.
Although they accumulated six points in the group phase, South Africa's performances have drawn criticism, particularly when measured against the impressive displays that secured their return to the Fifa World Cup for the first time since 2010.
