  • Hugo Broos has disclosed why Bafana Bafana failed to win against Andorra in the FIFA Series
  • The South African national team played out a draw against the European minnows in Algeria
  • Bafana Bafana's next friendly will be against 2019 AFCON champions, Algeria, next Monday

South Africa national team coach, Hugo Broos, has disclosed the reason behind Bafana Bafana's draw against Andorra in the FIFA Series tournament in Algeria.

Bafana Bafana were tipped as the favourites to win the tie but had to come from a goal behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against the European minnows.

A howler from SuperSport United goalkeeper, Ricardo Goss, gave the Tricolours an early lead in the fifth minute, but Elias Mokwana's debut goal earned South Africa a draw.

In an interview after the match, as per iDiskiTimes, Broos claimed the South African team lacked goal-scorers and acknowledged his team could only convert one out of the many chances they created against the European side.

"It was also our goal to give players that chance to have experience. First of all, and again, I am satisfied. I am delighted," he said.
"I think we showed again, shall I say, the problem of South African football: we don't really have that scorer; the guy with one chance scores a goal. If you see the six or seven chances we've had today, and we only scored once. In this game, you always [have] to win if you have more quality in front of the goal than you win this game.
"This is only a little thing I'm not satisfied with, and there were a few guys who satisfied me a lot."

South Africa will face Algeria in their next match in the mini-tournament on Monday, March 25.

Broos speaks on meeting with Irvin Khoza

Sports Brief also previously reported on Broos' meeting with Irvin Khoza, the Premier Soccer League chairman, before the international break.

The Belgian manager wanted to meet with the PSL chief for some time due to the issue between clubs and the South African national team.
