The South Africans dominated possession of the game throughout. However, they had failed to penetrate the Botswana defence, thus failing to create any clear cut opportunities.

Bafana Bafana were without head coach for the tournament Helman Mkhalele as he is in temporary isolation, awaiting his covid-19 results. Goalkeeper coach Lucky Shiburi is also in isolation.

New head coach Hugo Broos is yet to take charge of his first Bafana Bafana match. He was tested positive for the coronavirus last month.

Helman Mkhalele took charge of South Africa’s high scoring 3-2 victory over Uganda on the 10th of June 2021. This time around, assistant coach Morena Ramoreboli was the man in charge for South Africa.
