• Hugo Broos and South Africa are flying at the moment
• Bafana Bafana held Algeria to a 3-3 draw on Tuesday
• Head coach Hugo Broos says they aren't afraid of anyone

South Africa coach, Hugo Broos, has sent a warning to African teams after Bafana Bafana drew 3-3 against Algeria in a nail-biting friendly encounter.

Although Broos' team didn't win any of their two friendly matches, they showed they are still a formidable team that reached the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals.

South Africa were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by 164th-ranked side Andorra in their first of two friendly matches. Broos fielded a much-changed side, leaving veterans like Themba Zwane and Ronwen Williams on the bench.

On Tuesday, March 26, they produced a much better display. Despite going behind early in the first half, they roared back to take a 2-1 lead courtesy of Zwane's well-taken brace, per SuperSport.

The two sides went back and forth, but no one could find the winner in an epic encounter.

After the game, Broos had a message for the rest of the continent.

"We played against a strong team, but I don't think there was much difference between the quality of our game and Algeria's quality," he said via KickOff.

"That means we have made a lot of progress in the last months. We showed it already at AFCON, but I think today we did it again, and I think we don't have to be afraid anymore of any team in Africa."

In June, South Africa play Nigeria and Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
