Serhou Guirassy made no secret of his satisfaction after South Africa and Kenya drew 2-2. Absent for Guinea’s match against Eritrea, the Borussia Dortmund striker reacted to the result on X. The points shared allow the Syli National to stay in touch with Group D leaders in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers.

Guirassy reacts to the Bafana Bafana result

South Africa’s draw against Kenya worked in Guinea’s favour. Serhou Guirassy, who was unavailable for the Syli National’s match, expressed his delight on social media after the result.

The reaction did not escape Michael Olunga. The Kenya captain replied by reminding him of the two teams’ meeting in Nairobi next year. His response has already set the stage for a much-anticipated clash between the sides.

Guinea one point behind South Africa

After three matchdays, South Africa remain top of Group D with 7 points. Guinea are second with 6, ahead of Kenya (2 points) and Eritrea (1 point). The Bafana Bafana result therefore represents an opportunity for Guinea, who remain firmly in the qualification race.

Before that result, Guinea had secured a 2-1 win over Eritrea on November 12. Mohamed Soumah opened the scoring in the 13th minute, before Yakhouba Barry doubled the lead in the 53rd. Maill Lundgren pulled one back in the 82nd minute. With three matchdays played, the group remains wide open. Guinea continue their push for a place at AFCON 2027, while Guirassy keeps a close eye on the results of his teammates and their rivals.
