'Hugo Broos still coaching Cameroon but working undercover for Bafana Bafana! It felt like we were watching Kaizer Chiefs but Mamelodi Sundowns succeeded in pushing us backwards; Madala killed South Africa' - Fans

The 1996 winners failed to find a way past the five-time champions, the Indomitable Lions, in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) ongoing in the North African country of Morocco. South Africa were punished for an inconsistent start against a determined opponent who will now be hoping to go all the way.

Bafana Bafana's hope of winning their second AFCON title was dimmed on Sunday night by Cameroon, who won 2-1 at the Al Medina Stadium in Rabat.

The Indomitable Lions scored their goals courtesy of Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane, with Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa getting the lone strike for Mzansi.

While Cameroon prepares to face hosts Morocco in the last eight, South Africa is on their way home to prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

Here is what the fans think, as sampled by GOAL, after last weekend's result.
