“It is a similar situation as last week against Morocco. They are also a very good team with players who are playing in Europe for big teams,” Bafana head coach Hugo Broos told Sowetan.
“So, I think for many people, Nigeria will be the favourite to win that game. But as you know in football, it is not always the favourites who win. I think we’re confident and motivated to try that South Africa, after more than 20 years, are in the final.
“We don’t fear them. We know they have good players. We’ll try to do something. We know that their defence is good, but those are things that were said about Morocco also, and Bafana won. Those are statistics we have to take care of, but it doesn’t make us fear the opponents.”
