In the comments, social media users weighed in on the result. Here are some of the comments:
@boigny4 said:
“When we play to our strengths, we can compete against anyone. Today we played to our strengths, and we showed the world what we can do.”
@TeraMathebula remarked:
“The belief is there now; we have a tough game ahead, but I believe we will do everything we have. Let's show a fighting spirit.”
@SmartSosh replied:
"Have you seen comments from Africa? Africa says Czechia donated us a goal and that we do not deserve to be in the World Cup."
@dloz_mpho advised:
“The boys need to stop playing for the gallery. Why would one make a step over whilst running with the ball unmarked? They could have done better with the decision-making on when to pass the ball or shoot. Lastly, they need to play the ball, not the opponent's skin colour & yellow cards.”
@IZvangu85788 remarked:
“Haters popped champagne too quickly, well done Bafana Bafana💯”
@Blacksh90139340 said:
“Illegal foreigners and bitter foreigners were ready to deal with us on the TL.”
