We were not in command of the ball, especially in the final third. We looked like we didnt have the confidence. But again, we were not giving the early support or were unable to read the game to support Thabang Sibanyoni, who was dominating the aerial balls, Mkhalele told Safa media.
Botswana coach Didier da Rosa was very proud of his players, even though they did not win the match. It was a second draw (of the tournament after the 0-0 outcome against Eswatini), but at least we didnt concede any goal. Im proud of my players today because they followed the plan we worked on. It was very interesting for me as a coach to see these young players so disciplined.
Bafana will next face Eswatini in the last match of Group A at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium at 3pm on Tuesday.
