Broos frustrated by Nicaragua approach - 'They didn't try anything'

The Belgian tactician pulled no punches after watching his team settle for a draw against Nicaragua on Friday night. He cut a frustrated figure on the touchline, openly criticising the visitors for what he described as a one-dimensional, ultra-defensive approach that offered little ambition beyond sitting deep and soaking up pressure, with no real intent to test Bafana beyond their own defensive shape.
