A vindicated Hugo Broos shared his delight after his Bafana Bafana side clinched a hard-fought away win over Liberia to seal qualification to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Broos introduced five changes to his side from the disappointing 2-2 draw at Orlando Stadium against the Lone Stars with two of his attacking changes scoring in a 2-1 win.

Striker Zakhele Lepasa grabbed the opener before Mihlali Mayambela scored the winner as Bafana saw out the win in tricky conditions at a sold-out 22 000-seater Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium.
The Belgian was delighted with his side's result with images showing the 70-year-old jubilantly being flung in the air in celebration.
"It's difficult to express my feelings. Now I feel enormous happiness," a relieved Broos told reporters in Liberia during his post-match press conference."There are 100 feelings going through my body in this moment. It was a very tough game.
"We knew the style of Liberia. This powerplay [football]. It's long balls to the front and then headers and powerful duels."Therefore, we changed some players in our team. [We selected] players who are powerful, and I think we did good to do that."
Bafana will next host Morocco in their final Group K fixture on 12 June.
