Ghana secured qualification to the play-off round following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bafana Bafana at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The Black Stars finished Group G with the same points as South Africa, but edged Hugo Broos’ side due to a superior goals scored.

The only goal of the game came in the 33rd minute when Andre Ayew scored via a penalty after Daniel Amartey was felled in the box.

While Ghanaians are celebrating their national team’s latest victory, many South Africans are in an opposite mood.

Some of them took to social media to protest the penalty awarded to Ghana, insisting it was too soft.

Others also went full ballistics and went from raining insults on Ghanaians to wishing them bad luck in the next round of qualifiers.
