Bafana Bafana intend to take the fight to Ghana when they host the West Africans in a crucial 2022 World Cup qualifier at FNB Stadium on Monday.
Ghana are perched at the summit of Group G after beating Ethiopia 1-0 in Cape Coast a few days ago, while the new-look Bafana were held to a 0-0 draw by Zimbabwe away from home on Friday.
“You know, if you want to qualify, you have to win your home games and perhaps win one match outside [away from home]," he said. “Even if we play a draw, Ghana would have four points, the team, maybe Zimbabwe, will also have four points. We would have two points, so we are still in the running even if we play a draw.“We can play a draw on Monday and we would still stay in the running, and this is important. Not losing on Monday is the objective and it will always be good.
Ghana, like several national teams on the continent, have been left scrambling after Premier League clubs announced a few days ago that they would not release their players for games in countries on the red-list due to quarantine rules issued by the British government.
