Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane praised the team’s progress after a dominant 5-0 victory over Eritrea in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The win, secured at the Cairo International Stadium, marked Mosimane’s second win in charge following a 2-1 win over Guinea.
Mosimane emphasized the positive start to the campaign, highlighting the team’s strong performance in their first two matches. The result came after a 2-1 win against Guinea in Johannesburg, giving Bafana Bafana a perfect record in the qualifiers. The team’s attacking display saw multiple goals scored, showcasing their readiness for the tournament.
This success follows a period of transition for the squad, with several players moving between clubs and new strategies being implemented. Former TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic noted the progress of key player Khulumani Ndamane, who has moved to Mamelodi Sundowns and is now part of the national team setup. Beganovic described the move as a step forward in Ndamane’s development.
The strong start in the qualifiers has raised expectations for Bafana Bafana ahead of the tournament. With a solid foundation laid, the team is now looking to maintain its momentum as the competition progresses. The results suggest confidence in the coaching staff and the players’ ability to perform under pressure.
