South Africa’s national football team coach, Hugo Broos has emphasized the importance of clinical finishing ahead of their upcoming match against Nigeria.
Broos acknowledged the challenge posed by the three-time African champions and stressed the need for his team to convert their chances if they hope to secure a victory.
This encounter marks the second time this year that South Africa will face Nigeria, with the latter holding the advantage.
South Africa’s recent goal-scoring record, with just 15 goals in their last 17 matches, underscores the urgency for improvement as they head into the crucial World Cup qualifiers in Uyo.
Broos is banking on key players such as Lyle Foster and Iqraam Rayners to step up and deliver a winning performance against the formidable Super Eagles.
“I think our problem might be that we don’t have those natural goal scorers,” said the Coach.
“We are looking at a situation from two or three years ago, and it’s not easy to address.”
South Africa sits second on the table, accumulating three points out of a possible six.
