Baxter hails Bafana after Angola win

This comes after Bafana beat the Angolans 6-5 on penalties to secure a place in the finals of the four nations tournament currently taking place in Zambia.

A lapse of concentration in the 31st minute resulted in South Africa being punished by Campos following a casual pass by Buhle Mkhwanazi.

However, Stuart Baxter’s men came out firing in the second stanza and quickly levelled matters through debutant Lebogang Mothiba, whose cheeky back heel followed a good run from Phakamani Mahlambi.

“The boys showed character against a very stubborn Angola side,” said Baxter.

“We started off a bit slow in the opening minutes, and they really came at us. We eventually gained control of the game with the younger players gaining more confidence.

“The opening goal was a bit unfortunate, but I am glad we recuperated and found the equaliser. It was a great performance and we looking forward to the final on Saturday,” added Baxter.
