Ghana defender Harrison Afful expects a tough game against South Africa in the final Group C clash on Tuesday.

The Black Stars will qualify for the quarter finals of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations with a win over Bafana Bafana.

Ghana revived its campaign at the tournament in Equatorial Guinea after a stuttering start with a last-gasp winner over Algeria last Friday.

The win has lifted spirits in the Black Stars camp which were dampened after the disappointing defeat to Senegal in the group opener.

The improved team cohesion under new coach Avram Grant will however be put to another stern test by the energetic South Africans on Tuesday in Mongomo.

Defender Harrison Afful admits the vital game against Bafana Bafana will not be an easy one.

“This game is going to be an interesting game and it is not going to be easy for us,” he said.

“They [South Africa] also play good football so they will be a very tough side.”
