South Africa head coach Hugo Broos has hailed the mentality of his players following their 1-1 draw against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
South Africa maintained their impressive record of not losing a game inside the Godswill Akpabio Stadium following the draw in Group C matchday 3 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Friday.
Themba Zwane gave South Africa the lead in the first half before Fisayo Dele-Bashiru equalised.
Following the draw, the Eagles are yet to record any win and occupy fifth place on three points.
The South Africans had travel inches on their way to Nigeria but still managed to earned a share of the points.
Reacting to the outcome of the game, Broos said: “I have to congratulate my players. As you know or you don’t know, we had a terrible travel to Nigeria on Wednesday.
“We were only in bed at two o’clock on Thursday morning. So we were 20 hours on the way. And when you see the mentality in the team today, then I can only be proud about my players.”
South Africa will be back in action next week when they will take on Zimbabwe while the Eagles will face Benin Republic on Tuesday in Côte d’Ivoire.
