Bafana Bafana will be targeting a full-house of points on Tuesday night when they face Zimbabwe in Bloemfontein.

South Africa will face the Warriors in their second 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier and it will be important to secure a win after dropping points on Friday in Nigeria.

On the weekend Bafana claimed a valuable point on the road against the Super Eagles in Uyo after playing to a 1-1 draw, but three points on Tuesday will be imperative.

The Bafana coach, Broos, said they have to back up their solid performance against the Super Eagles with three-points.

“When you see the mentality in the team on Friday, then I can only be proud about my players,” said Broos.

“It was a tough game against a good team, but in the first half I think we played fantastic football, we had some chances, we could have scored the 2-0.

“I think that the result is correct - a draw. We had our chances, and Nigeria had their chances.

“I have to congratulate my players. As you know or you don’t know, we had a terrible travel to Nigeria on Wednesday. We were only in bed at two o’clock on Thursday morning. So we were 20 hours on the way.”

Tomorrow night’s game at the Toyota Stadium kicks off at 18:00.
