Also, Rwanda occupy top spot in Group C on four points while South Africa are second on three points.

The result ended Bafana’s 11-match unbeaten run and was only their second loss in their past 18 games across all competitions.

Afterwards, Bafana Bafana coach Broos said that his side lost the game within the first quarter and were never in a position to recover.

“We lost the game in the first 25 minutes, because we weren’t ready for the kick-and-rush football of Rwanda,” Broos said in an interview with Safa media Via iol.co.za.

“I had told the players to be careful, but then we gave away two presents – two gift goals. We were not ready, and after the two goals, we changed a little bit.
