Broos: Those Final 20 Minutes Were Heart-Stopping as Bafana Make World Cup History
South Africa coach Hugo Broos described the last 20 minutes of his team’s 1-0 victory over South Korea as “heart beating” after Thapelo Maseko’s 63rd-minute strike sealed their first ever progression beyond the World Cup group stage. Broos praised his side’s defensive discipline under heavy late pressure. “We played very well and defended resolutely. After we scored, it was twenty minutes of heart beating until the final whistle,” he said in a post-match interview. Reflecting on the tournament, the Belgian coach admitted the first game was rough but said the squad had improved steadily. South Africa now face Canada in Los Angeles in the Round of 32, and Broos believes his side can build on this historic win.
