Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has warned his troops to guard against complacency ahead of the AFCON last Group E match against Tunisia on Wednesday. South Africa are on the verge of qualification to the last 16 if they avoid defeat against the North Africans. 

They currently sit at position two with three points, tied with Namibia who are in third position.

“It was a great game [against Namibia on Sunday] and a good win. Goal difference counts and we are happy with the result,” Broos was quoted by the SAFA media. 

“We know what we need to do, the team knows what they need to do and the changes made on the day were tactical and needed. We will do the same against Tunisia. Every opponent we study and improve on our plan,” he said.

Meanwhile, defender Grant Kekana says playing alongside his teammates in the back-five makes life easier. Kekana made the starting line-up for the clash against Namibia in place on Siyanda Xulu.

“It is easy when the backline is Modiba, Mvala and Mudau,” he said.

“These are my club buddies and when we play for our county, it does come naturally and easier because of how well we know each other. We train together just about every day,” said the Limpopo-born defender.

Bafana Bafana had a few days’ rest since their match against Namibia. That’s one less than their opponents Tunisia. The clash against Tunisia will kick off at 19:00 SA time, the same time as the match between Mali and Tunisia. 

By the end of Wednesday, all nations who have qualified for the last 16 round would have been confirmed.
