Bafana Bafana striker Lehlohonolo Majoro will miss the crucial final group stage match against Morocco on Sunday. ------------------------------------------------------------ Predict result and win big with Soccer6 ------------------------------------------------------------ Majoro scored the second goal against Angola and almost got a second but lobbed it over the gaping goalmouth. Nevertheless, Bafana won 2-0 as Sangweni netted the first goal and the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations hosts are on top of Group C with four points, two more than Cape Verde and Morocco, and three more than Angola. With Majoro out, Coach Gordon Igesund can still use Bernard Parker, Katlego Mpela and Tokelo Rantie who all started against the Black Antelopes. Rantie, who constantly troubled the Angolan defence, was replaced by Majoro whose inspiring performance will be missed. "I'm going to miss maybe a couple of games. I have seven or so stitches in my leg. The medical team said I may miss the next game or two," the Kaizer Chiefs striker said. All four teams have a chance of progressing which makes Sunday's games critical to all.
