South African football criticises Bafana Bafana's finishing against Sudan
Bafana Bafana beat Sudan 1-0 in their second Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game on Sunday afternoon.
After losing to Ghana in their first qualifier away from home a few days ago, South Africa were desperate to beat Sudan and get their qualification hopes on track.
We take a look at how Bafana legends and current South African players reacted to the performance on social media.
Members of South African football's media and the fans were not impressed by Bafana's finishing and performance against a "weak" visiting side.
We also include positive remarks from supporters, many of whom believed South Africa should've received a penalty late in the game.
Montpellier attacking midfielder Keagan Dolly was one of the admirers of South Africa's performance against Sudan.

This Sudan side is the poorest national team I have seen Bafana play against. The majority of the PSL teams would beat them in SA. Bafana should win easily by many goals. No excuses. #SLLive

I cannot believe the two chances Mothiba has missed ! Doesnt look like a player who plays in the top league in France. #SLLive

@robertmarawa I now understand what was the fuss all about when it comes to the inclusion of #Mokotjo in the Bafana set up.

Mothiba’s run his race, and he’s replaced by Erasmus for #Bafana.

A much welcome win but Bafana Bafana is not there yet. Not by a long shot.
