The South Africa National Football team coach Molefi Ntseki wasn’t happy when he was asked why he fielded seven defenders against Ghana on Thursday.
Percy Tau equalizer was all Bafana Bafana needs to keep their qualifications hope alive after Kudus puts the Black Stars of Ghana in front in the 49th minute.
“I think, if you’re talking of seven [defenders], I don’t know those seven because we had eleven players who were meant to attack and get us goals. But when you look at the seven, maybe it’s because you were counting when we were in defence, but you were not counting when we were in attack to get the numbers right. With our team [on Friday], they executed the plan very well. I am personally very happy, in terms of the little time we had to prepare this team, with some players having withdrawn.
” I think I need to remind you that when we won against Sao Tome, we had Bongani Zungu, Kamohelo Mokotjo and Dean Furman and the three of them were not here this time, so we had a new pairing in midfield.” He said
The Bafana Bafana of South Africa are in a tight rope going into the last group fixtures in Khartoum against Sudan who needs a win to seal their qualifications while South Africa need a draw to book their spot in Cameroon tomorrow.
