South Africa coach, Hugo Broos, has explained why his team lost against Canada in the Round of 32 at the World Cup.
Broos watched as a late stoppage time goal from Stephen Eustaquio gave Canada a 1-0 victory against South Africa.
Speaking after the game, Broos admitted that the co-host nation overpowered the Bafana Bafana with speed and power, adding that his players couldn’t cope ‘man against man’.
“It was a difficult game, but I knew beforehand because I analysed the opponent,” Broos told FIFA.
“They have two important in power and speed. We hoped we had an answer for that, but it was not always the case.
“You saw situations in the game that we could not follow, and the duels, man against man, we lost sometimes or most of the time. We have to work on power and speed in South Africa,” he said.
