'Hugo Broos nonsense, I thought Bafana Bafana will run riot against Ghana Team B squad! South Africa will see flames at AFCON but tell Relebohile Mofokeng time to be cute is over' - Fans

The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Bronze winners played their final build-up game against the West African nation on Tuesday evening, where they laboured to a morale-boosting victory. The team will now leave for Morocco on Wednesday, December 17, with hopes of bringing glory back to Mzansi for the second time in their history.

Bafana Bafana needed a second-half individual brilliance from Orlando Pirates midfielder Sipho Mbule to claim a 1-0 win over Ghana in an international friendly game staged at Dobsonville Stadium.

However, it was not an easy outing for Hugo Broos' men, who struggled especially in the first half, where they didn't have any shots on target.

In the end, they managed to get a win ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be played in Morocco from Sunday.  

Have a look at what the fans said after the win as sampled by GOAL.

    Ghana studied our players well

    Our defense is solid, I think, and our midfield is also good if Teboho Mokoena is present. The goalkeeping department is also solid. Ghana is quite good at pressing. They studied our players very well. We just have to work on scoring more goals - Peaches

    How did Mokwana make the squad & not Lorch?

    Mind you, this team is playing Angola next week. Hugo Broos needs to do his actual job at training. How did players like Elias Mokwana make it back to the squad, but he didn't see Thembinkosi Lorch as useful - Mafika

    Our wingers and strikers should score, not midfielders!

    We're going to need our wingers and strikers to score goals if we want to win the AFCON.  We can’t depend on midfielders - Gubz

    I thought we'd run riot but we struggled

    I thought we'd run riots against the CHAN, Ghana squad. But we struggled especially in the first half with zero shots on target. In the second half, Ghana was opening our defense easily - King David

    The Madala nonsense!

    The Madala nonsense! Tell Mofokeng his cute time is over, and we have expectations. This thing of his always wanting to pass, even when the net is open, will cost us big time. He must take chances and stop trying to be cute.  I'm worried about that Ndamane guy - Kamohelo Moloii
