About this episode

The episode reviews Bafana Bafana's performance in their opening match against Mexico in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Bafana Bafana opened their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on a losing note. A nine men Bafana Bafana side  team lost 2-nil to co-hosts Mexico in the opening match of the tournament last night.

For a review on last night's match we're joined by former Bafana Bafana captain and 1996 AFCON winner, Mr. Neil Tovey and sport executive plus former professional player, Mr. Thulaganyo Gaoshubelwe.
