South Africa's head coach, Hugo Broos, expressed immense satisfaction with his players' commitment in their match against the Czech Republic. The 'Bafana Bafana' secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw, keeping their hopes alive for advancing to the knockout stage of the World Cup.
"I am incredibly proud of my team. This is 'Bafana Bafana' – we love good football, we are aggressive, we create chances. Yes, we made mistakes, but I am very proud of today's performance. The Czech Republic team is powerful and features many tall players. We handled them very well," Broos began.
He remains optimistic that his team can win their final group stage match against South Korea and progress further in the tournament.
"It's a bit of a shame that it's only 1-1, but we simply have to win the match against the Republic of Korea, which will also be very difficult. If we play with the same mentality, it will be possible," the specialist added.
