In a 16-minute segment of play during their Africa Cup of Nations 2021 qualifier against Sudan, Bafana Bafana showed why so many South African football fans have a love/hate relationship with the team.
The period of dominance ended in disappointment, with Phiri choosing to look at the result as a whole, rather than that spell.We don’t feel so frustrated because we know the ability we have. We created so many chances before the goal, but we kept the belief in what we were doing — the outcome of the game says it all,” said Phiri in the post-match interview.
The changes were somewhat forced, with midfield maestro Bongani Zungu suffering a serious knee injury, while the rest of the players travelled immediately after their clash in Ghana to prepare for Sudan on Sunday. On Sunday, Ntseki ditched the 4-3-3 formation he’d deployed in Ghana in favour of a 4-2-3-1, Tau, Phiri and Thulani Serero making up a fluid trio behind Mothiba.
