Head coach of the senior national team of South Africa Hugo Broos has laid out how he thinks his team will beat all comers in their group to the 2026 world cup ticket, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
South Africa are currently joint leaders in the group on seven points, but in second position behind Rwanda who have a superior goal difference. They are also level on points with Benin Republic their next opponent when the qualifiers resumes in March.
Analyzing his team’s chances with Nigeria still seen by many as a threat despite their poor start to the series with just three points and still without a win and also four points behind the leaders, Broos outlined what his team need to do which will negates whatever the Nigerian team under new coach Eric Chelle do in the remaining games of the qualifiers.
“All the teams are still in the running. Therefore, March can be a key month, and things will be a little bit clearer. We now have seven points, and then I count six (in March), it’s 13. And then we have four games, which tally up to 12 points. I think if you have 16/17 points, you have qualified,” the coach explained.
“And then after that, we can say, for example, Rwanda is out. Again, that’s why it’s very important to win the two games (against Lesotho and Benin).”
