South Africa coach Molefi Ntseki believes a protective strategy would be their best approach to Thursday's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Ghana.
Bafana Bafana are set to take on the Black Stars away in Cape Coast in their first match of the qualifiers.
“We have to be very careful. Starting on the front foot can get us an early goal and unsettle Ghana. But at the same time, if you give Ghana too much possession, they can easily hurt you," Ntseki said at the pre-match press conference.
