South Africa Under-23 coach David Notoane was unhappy with some apparent gamesmanship that saw his team shorten their training session in Brazzaville on Saturday ahead of Monday’s U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying second leg game against Congo.
“We’ve done a lot of video analysis in terms of an improvement — their strengths and our weaknesses. You can see clearly from the analysis we had a lot of positive moments but our decision-making let us down in the final third.“We were worthy of a goal or two, or even three, more. And of course with our defensive blunders Congo could have easily scored more than one.“We have to take the game to them.
”“It’s a bit cooler then so we have to play with intensity, make sure we score an early goal to push the tie open.“I’m confident, based on the quality we have and football we’re able to play, if we just fine-tune our mistakes.“Congo are effective on transition if we lose the ball, so we have to work on our rest defence and organisation so we don’t allow them time to come out. If we can dominate that phase we should be good enough to get a result that allows us to progress.
