Ghana may have beaten Africa's No.1 team Algeria, but Andre Ayew has warned they cannot afford to take Bafana Bafana lightly on Tuesday in a crunch AFCON Group C clash.
The Black Stars beat Algeria 1-0 to bounce back into reckoning after a 2-1 loss at the hands of Senegal.
They next face South Africa on Tuesday in Mongomo knowing a win will send them through to the quarterfinals, while a draw and Algeria not able to beat Senegal could also push them through.
However, Olympique Marseille ace Andre Ayew said South Africa will give them a tough match.
“This is not the best Ghana, many of us like Gyan and I are not 100% fit, but we can do a lot more,” he said.
“Even after the win against Algeria, we cannot afford to get swollen headed. We're happy, but won't take anything for granted. Algeria is past and next is South Africa. It will be a very tough battle on Tuesday.”
He further said: “Expectations back at home must now have risen, but Ghana have always dealt with the pressure even though it could be difficult.”
The Black Stars last won the Nations Cup in 1982, but they have reached the last four of the previous four editions.
