AFCON 2027: Mosimane wants Bafana to bounce back after Kenya drawفاطمه عموزاد · CC BY 4.0

Coach Pitso Mosimane says Bafana Bafana remain in contention for AFCON 2027 despite a 2-2 home draw against Kenya. According to IOL, he is relying on the strength of his squad to bounce back in the final qualifying matches.

South Africa drew 2-2 with Kenya on Friday at Orlando Amstel Arena, after leading 2-1 until Ryan Ogam’s equaliser in the 89th minute.

Pitso Mosimane regretted the numerous chances missed by his players. “Football teaches us that it is not possession of the ball, nor the number of chances created, but the chances converted,” the South African coach said. He said Kenya had managed to take advantage of the few chances it had.
