The reigning African champions must overturn the deficit in the second leg to achieve their ambition of qualifying for the Olympics after missing out four years ago in Tokyo.

“The end result will be on Tuesday,” Kgatlana told reporters after the game.
“We will be at home, familiar with the conditions, that will be an advantage.”
