'If it is not broken‚ don’t try to fix it.'

There will not only be a place in Friday’s tournament final on the line‚ but the winner of the tie will also seal a berth at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games‚ a huge carrot to be dangled in front of the players.

But Notoane says their plans are working and the lack of goals is not because of a lack of opportunities created.“I didn’t think our tactics have been defensive. We have created a lot of good moments in attack. Unfortunately‚ we have not had the luck of scoring the from the chances we have created. “We are entering a different stage of the competition. When you play in the group stages you play three opponents‚ so while you are trying to win your own match‚ you also have to check the permutations‚" he said.

South Africa visited Cairo for a friendly prior to the tournament for a friendly with the hosts and lost 1-0‚ though Notoane says they learnt much about their opponents in that game.
