Bafana Bafana will confront the Crocodiles of Lesotho in a matchday seven encounter at the Free State Stadium on Friday, 5 September before taking on Nigeria.
“The biggest mistake the South African players can make is underestimating Lesotho. Remember this Lesotho team held Nigeria to a draw in Nigeria, so we must not make the mistake of underestimating them. We beat Lesotho before, so we must beat them again,” Broos was quoted by IOL.
“We knew from the start that the team we had to beat is Nigeria.
“Even though they started badly, they can still qualify.”
