Substitute Thabang Sibanyoni made the difference as his second half goal earned Bafana Bafana a 1-0 win over 10-man Eswatini at Isaac Wolfson Stadium on the outskirts of Gqeberha on Thursday.
Sekhukhune United forward Sibanyoni poked home on 59 minutes to help Bafana claim maximum points again and dislodge Sihlangu from the top of Group A.
Just like in their opening match when Kagiso Malinga rose from the bench to score in the 1-0 win over Botswana, it was another substitute who made the difference for Bafana whose defence is yet to be breached in this competition.
