Zungu praises Baxter after Bafana win

Thembinkosi Lorch scored the winning goal against Egypt in the final minutes of regulation time.

“What a massive win! [It was] A big performance from our team. We had a game plan. We knew that we were playing against a good team with top players, and we had to be humble; we had to be disciplined and I am very happy with the win,” Zungu told beIn Sports.

“I am proud of my team. I am proud of the coaches. We didn’t have the best of games in the group stages.

“To be honest, we were brave and credit must go to our coach. He told us that we need to have a big heart, we need to play for ourselves, country and families – that’s what we did, and I am very happy for the team. I am very happy with the win,” added Zungu.
