Bafana Bafana have drawn one all, in their crucial FIFA World Cup group-stage clash against Czechia in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States, keeping their hopes in the tournament alive.
Bafana Bafana came from behind to snatch a one-all draw in their second Group A match of the 2026 edition against Czechia in Atlanta, Georgia, in the US.

Czechia were on the score sheet as early as the sixth minute through Michal Sadilek.
Bafana, who enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, were awarded a penalty for handball in the 83rd minute, which Teboho Mokoena converted.
The goal and draw secured Bafana the crucial point they needed to stay alive in the tournament.
Mokoena will, however, miss Bafana’s last group match after receiving a second yellow card.
