The Bafana captain admits his side failed to replicate the form that saw them overcome Egypt when they came up against Nigeria
Bafana Bafana’s biggest flaw was their failure to replicate the start they had against Egypt when they took on Nigeria on Wednesday.
This is according to captain Thulani Hlatshwayo, who was gutted to have lost to the Super Eagles in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.
A last minute William Troost-Ekong goal felt like a dagger to the hearts of the Bafana players as their Afcon campaign came to a sudden end, and South Africa’s woeful run - which has seen them fail to register a win over Nigeria at the continental showpiece - continued.
