SA has a team again, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos said, necessarily highlighting the immense positives that should emerge from the gloom after his team's match officiating-affected exit from the 2022 World Cup.
the officiating of Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye and his assistants.
Daniel Amartey clearly dived when there was at best minimal contact from Rushine de Reuck for the penalty Ndiaye awarded. Broos complained of the decisions throughout the match that allowed Ghana to make physical challenges, but not SA. Broos, though, also called attention to SA's hugely promising group qualifying campaign — winning four times, drawing once and losing once with a young team as the coach bravely omitted frontline stars building towards the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.“If you see the decision came down to one goal then that's the second disappointment we have.
“We did very good work in the last three months. When you asked before the qualifiers what SA would do, nobody would say we would be top of the group before the last game.“Again, I'm really not happy with the referee and the way he allowed Ghana to play in an aggressive way. I have nothing against that [refs allowing physical play], but it has to be for both sides, and that was not the case.”
