Hugo Broos, the South African Bafana Bafana’s head coach, stated that his team deserved the outcome they achieved against Nigeria, according to BSNSports.com.ng.
In the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Bafana Bafana chose a valuable draw against Nigeria, proving the bookmakers wrong.
The outcome is accurate—a draw—and both Nigeria and we had opportunities. However, I must commend my guys since, as you may recall, our trip to Nigeria was appalling.
“We played excellent football in the first half, but it was a difficult game against a strong squad.
We had a few opportunities to score a 2-0 lead, and when the game started, we were a little unlucky to score a goal two minutes into the second half. You can expect that it will be tough, but we battled for the goal from the 46th to the 95th minute, and I believe the outcome is accurate once more.
Usually, you can tell by looking at the group draw that Nigeria will be your toughest rival to win the group, so when you arrive here, aim to score at least one point.
“So, not to lose that was very important for us today” , he stated.
