According to a video on SABC Sport’s Twitter (X) profile, Broos expressed delight over the result and suggested possible changes for the match against Benin.
Broos said:
“We played against a team who just don’t want to lose and we had four good chances that we did not score in the first half. We had to correct some things and we started the second half with pressure. It was a little bit late in the game but the most important thing is that we had the victory today and the three points. On Tuesday, we have another tough match so it is important for some players to get some rest.”
Bafana's victory was confirmed on Twitter (X):
Bafana climbs to the top of the qualifying group
Following the victory over Lesotho, Bafana are now top of their qualifying group with five matches left to play.
Broos’ men are two points ahead of second-placed Benin, while 2023 AFCON finalists Nigeria are climbing the log after beating Rwanda 2-0.
Victory over Benin would move Bafana one step closer to North America and Broos could flex his tactical skills by making changes ahead of the crucial encounter.

“SAFA should do everything in their power to keep this man at Bafana, he brought back the hope to the supporters. Just look at how things have changed since he took charge.

“This man made our nation a force.”
Zithulele Mondli Ntanzi is a fan:
