South Africa's 2021 Africa of Nations qualifying campaign got off to a poor start after they were beaten by Ghana on Thursday night.
The Black Stars scored in each half through Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus to secure 2-0 home victory over Bafana Bafana in their opening Group C match.
Molefi Ntseki, who was taking charge of his maiden competitive match as Bafana coach, is now facing pressure from the fans ahead of the team's second qualifier against Sudan on Sunday.
The withdrawal of Bongani Zungu, after he had picked up an injury, opened a gap in midfield and the Black Stars were able to take advantage.
Despite the SAA strike, the team is expected to land home before 6 PM on Friday. They will rest then Saturday prepare for the next qualifying game on Sunday.
