Despite lose against Nigeria, SA proud of players' performance
Briefly News previously reported that one would expect South Africans to be sad after Bafana Bafana lost against Nigeria in Wednesday's Africa Cup of Nations semi-final. But that is not the case, in fact, Mzansi beamed with pride that the national team made it that far.
The team started the AFCON on a shaky note, losing two-nil against Mali. But redeemed itself when it won four-nil against Namibia in their second match group. We looked at how the players contributed to the team's success.
The Bafana captain and goalkeeper has indeed performed his duties well beyond expectations. The player set South Africa abuzz after his heroic penalty saves against Cape Verde, making the team advance to the semi-finals after 24 years.
