"The players must be congratulated because the game was not easy and we knew that South Africa had a good team," Halilhodžic said, per Lion d'Atlas. "They surprised us by scoring with their first opportunity."
"The boys played well but sinned in the achievement by missing a lot of opportunities. But we must still congratulate them for their combativeness, their will and for their quality of play
"Now, we must rest and treat the little sores before preparing for the match against Liberia where, of course, I expect another victory, a second and we will almost qualify for the next AFCON."
