Bafana vice-captain Siyanda Xulu says there is still a long way to go TiisetsoMalepa
Bafana enter a critical stage of the campaign high on confidence after a draw against Zimbabwe in Harare and a home win over Ghana in their opening two qualifying matches last month to top Group G on four points.
“We are going to do the same thing against Ethiopia. They are going to earn our respect and we are going to prepare the way we always do whenever we play our tough encounters. Ghana and Ethiopia have three points each and are second and third respectively, with Zimbabwe bottom of the group on one point.
Xulu has marshalled a Bafana defence that is yet to breached in their two matches but will be tested to the limit against Ethiopia. “It is not about us at the back. It is about the whole team, because we start to defend from the front and that we have managed to do that and work as a team, it is reflecting on the pitch.
