SAFA President, Dr Danny Jordaan has urged Bafana Bafana to beat Nigeria in Nigeria.
“Unfortunately I will not be at that match but I will be watching. No one can overtake you, you are top of the log and that in itself is a tremendous achievement. In every match so far you have proved everybody wrong because for some reason even our own media has given greater odds to teams that play against you, and it is those odds that you turned around in every single match.
“This is the last match, and the odds in terms of the media will be stacked against you but you showed Nigeria in Cape Town,” said Dr. Jordaan.
“We want you to go to Nigeria to confirm not only that you have qualified for AFCON 2015 but also that you are going to be the team to beat at that tournament. You have the ability and we believe in you.
“Confirm your credentials as a team that the whole world and continent must take note of, and this is the opportunity against Nigeria in Nigeria. You don’t get a better opportunity than this one – to beat Nigeria in Nigeria or to beat England in England, to beat Brazil in Brazil, to beat Argentina in Argentina. Those are the big ticks in football and you have an opportunity to make a big tick. Just focus on what you have to do. Congrats for qualifying and all the best for the match.” Jordaan concluded.
