Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos expressed contentment with his players' mindsets in the 0-0 draw against Lesotho at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
Despite the match being played at a closed stadium, Broos mentioned a desire for victory against their underestimated neighbours.
However, he acknowledged that the players, fatigued from a lengthy season and training camp in Stellenbosch, lacked the required freshness for a win.
"After intensive training over the past three to four days, I believe we required a bit more energy to secure a victory against Lesotho. I am not dissatisfied; certainly not, as everyone had the chance to participate.

We achieved our objectives and observed what we intended. While the 0-0 draw with Lesotho won't impact Afcon, winning the game would have been preferable."
