'Those are matches that can be decisive,' says Bafana coach Broos ahead of clashes against Ethiopia TiisetsoMalepa

Hugo Broos has been preparing Bafana Bafana at Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto before their trip to Ethiopia.Hugo Broos has reminded Bafana Bafana that match-days three and four are critical stages of any qualifying campaign and it is at this juncture where teams crash out or gather speed.

“When you play the qualifiers, Afcon or the World Cup, matches three and four are always key matches, always. Bafana top Group G on four points from two qualifiers after a goalless draw against Zimbabwe in Harare and a 1-0 win over Ghana at FNB Stadium last month. “It can be that Zimbabwe is also out of the race and that we have five points ahead of Ghana. Our position will be very good if we can realise that.

“We know the task that is at hand and it is not going to be easy, but we believe we can achieve it,” said the 29-year-old Gqeberha-born goalkeeper.“We are excited and so far so good. The spirits are high and we want to keep it this way.”
