Former Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund: Bafana are capable of beating Cameroon this evening and can also go all the way to the final of the Afcon

Gordon Igesund suggest that should Bafana Bafana play with fluidity and confidence against Cameroon this evening then they stand a chance to make it all the way to the final.

Igesund, a former Bafana coach and a PSL championship winning trophy, did not sound a pleased man on Bafana’s display against Zimbabwe in their final group B match which they won 3-2.

“I wasn’t impressed by Bafana against Zimbabwe. They got the result they needed, but it was hard,” Igesund said as per FarPost.

“Cameroon are a very physical team and they have done it before [winning AFCON]. But I’m hoping Bafana get to the final. This is an important tournament for them and a big opportunity for players to show that they deserve to go to the World Cup.

“They just need to improve from the way they played against Zimbabwe. Maybe taking that match as a big lesson to correct themselves and have a big chance against Cameroon.

Igesund described the national side doing duty in Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations as one able to reach the final of the tournament.

“Bafana are also very capable of winning it. They have a coach who believes in his players. They have proven a lot of things over the past couple of months. Cameroon are used to these big games, so let’s see what we can do.

“Broos knows his players and how to get the best out of them. Let’s just take it one game at a time.”

The game starts at 9pm in Rabat.
