Morena Ramoreboli Happy With Bafana Bafana Performance! The stand-in Bafana coach watched on as they defeated Botswana 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Morena Ramoreboli oversaw their first win of this year’s Cosafa Cup group stages. Substitute Kagiso Malinga scored the winner in the 67^th minute.

The assistant coach took over as Helman Mkhalele had to isolate, still waiting for his covid-19 results. Goalkeeper coach Lucky Shiburu is also in isolation.

“I want to congratulate the boys.” Ramoreboli told the media after the game.

“I think they tried their level best to execute the plan as we wanted. Yes, we never got too many entries into the final third, especially in the first half.

“I think second half we managed to correct a few things. We did not want to lose too many balls because we knew that they would win many aerial balls.

“So we had to keep the ball on the ground and we got it right. Even though there were few mistakes, we could not get enough entries into the final third.

“Because Sibanyoni could not connect well with Pitso and Brooks. In the second half we managed to create a few chances.

“We did our best, especially in the second half.” He added.

The technical staff was praised for their second half substitutes. Particularly the introduction of goal scorer Malinga.

“Looking at our bench, we only had three players. We made a very thorough analysis before the game.

“We knew that Malinga has been scoring a lot of goals for Swallows off the bench. Obviously when you have him on the bench bring him on and he will give you something.

“He did that exactly today. These are some of the players who showed signs of maturity.

“We needed to start well. To start well was not enough.

“We had to also play good football. I think we played an entertaining game.

“We wanted to play forward as quickly as we could. It’s now about preparing for the next match and staying humble, try to work harder and make sure we get a positive result for the next match.”
