Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane says he’s been reminded that he’s not been in South African football for a while – after their 2-2 draw against Kenya in their match-day three 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
South Africa dropped two points after conceding a 90th minute equaliser against the Harambee Stars with Ryan Ogam netting a stunning effort from outside the area.
Mosimane was clearly agitated by the lack of ruthlessness from his side as they spurned the lead late in each half and admitted he was a bit emotional to react with calmness after losing concentration.
“There’s so much to tell, so many situations that came out of this game, but football tells you it’s not about ball possession or chances you create, Kenya showed that, it’s about the chances you take, they created an upset for us,” Mosimane said in post-match presser.
“I think if we want to see how many chances, we missed it’s a series right. I have been reminded I’m not been here for some time, welcome home, in South Africa we can miss chances, that’s about all, it’s about taking opportunities, what can I say.”
Bafana landed in Kenya this morning ahead of the reverse fixture set for Wednesday, 17 November, at the Nyayo National Stadium on Nairobi.
