Bafana Bafana achieved a satisfactory result in their first match in the qualifiers this March by defeating their guests Lesotho by a score of 2-0 in a match in which Bafana Bafana ended the first half with a negative draw before they put the three points in their pocket at the end of the second half.

The victory over Lesotho put them on top of Group C with ten points and they are followed by the Cheetahs , whom they will face on Tuesday evening March 25 in Cote d'ivoire.

What makes Hugo unhappy before facing Benin!

The stadium on which they were going to train in Ivory Coast was going to be used by the Ivory Coast "owner of the land" on Monday evening, so Bafana Bafana was not allowed to train on Monday on it.

Commenting on this incident, the Belgian told the media: First of all, I have to tell you that I’m really not satisfied with the decision that we can’t have a pre-match training in the stadium where the game takes place, I think this is a FIFA rule, that every team has the right to have a preliminary training before the game of 60 minutes in the stadium where you play, where the match takes place.

Expressing his anger and resentment over the incident, Broos added:

I don’t understand. I understand it because there is another game, But this is bad when people who make the rules don’t follow the rules. Will that have an influence on the game? I don’t know. But I know if tomorrow after the game I’m not at the press conference, there will be a sanction, So, we have to follow the rules. Where are the rules now? And you will tell me, yes, that’s for both teams. I don’t think so. I think Benin has already trained in that stadium because they were here before us, So, it’s all nice to say, follow the rules, follow this. We have to follow everything. But we have the right to train today in the stadium where the match takes place, and we can’t. And this is not honest, and this is not correct.
