Darren Keet has commented on the controversial penalty awarded to Libya over the weekend after Bafana Bafana booked their spot at the 2019 African Cup of Nations.   Check out images from Keet's fine showing in the gallery above   Keet had a stellar game for Bafana on Sunday evening as he made a string of fine stops over the course of the encounter in Tunisia to help Stuart Baxter's side get the job done and beat the Libyans in Sfax.   Read: Siyaya eEgypt!! - Bafana Baxter Sing, Dance Into AFCON Finals   There was a moment that threatened to derail things though, with the Bidvest Wits man giving away a penalty that was converted by Ahmad Benali, shortly before Percy Tau bagged his brace to regain the lead for Bafana in what ended up in a 2-1 victory.   Wits' number one went up for a catch after Stuart Baxter's side had gone 1-0 up thanks to Tau's opening goal, with the Libyan attacker going down, caught by a stray leg from the shot-stopper, though many felt that it was a harsh call from the Moroccan referee at the time.   Speaking from Tunisia after the game after the decision, 'Popeye' said, "I've gone for the ball… I saw the ball coming in and I saw the striker coming towards me. You're always taught to protect yourself, because obviously when you're going up in the air you have nothing to protect yourself so you put your knee up. He's caught my foot and he's made a bit of a meal out of it and obviously, the referee's given a penalty.   Read: Baxter's Two Words To Describe This Bafana Squad...   "It's a little bit unfortunate but it's part of the game and we take it and we move on. After that, we've done well to come back into the game again."   Bafana will now wait to see who they will be pitted against in the AFCON finals later this year, with Baxter's side full of confidence following their unbeaten qualifying campaign.
