Broos explains how Nigeria can help Bafana in WCQ

In an interview after Lesotho's clash, Broos narrated how the Super Eagles will help Bafana Bafana against other teams in the World Cup qualifying phase.

"A few days ago, I mentioned that there was a team in the group that could help us, and that team is Nigeria. I saw they beat Rwanda today [Friday]," Broos said.

"They can't afford to drop any more points, and they’ll do everything they can to win against every team.

"Right now, we're four points ahead of Nigeria, and it's in our hands to do what we need to do. If we take care of our own business, Nigeria will help us.

"The situation is positive for now, but it’s up to us to maintain it. We can’t afford to make any mistakes, especially on Tuesday in Ivory Coast."

Broos also commented on his team's performance against Lesotho in their last World Cup qualifier.

"I’m really pleased with my team's performance. I mentioned in the prematch meeting that we might have to fight more than just play football, and we did both. We played well, created seven or eight good chances to score," the Belgian coach said.

"We were a bit unlucky at times, but we kept fighting, and that's something this team can do. After what happened at AFCON, where Bafana finished third, we’ve learned a lot, and you can see that in games like this.

"We're two points ahead, which puts us in a good position. Now, we have to focus on preparing for Tuesday. It will be as tough a game as today—different, but equally challenging. If we're well-prepared and can produce the same level of performance, I believe we can win that game too."
