“I’m only human. Sometimes emotions take over,” Hugo Broos (70) explains on the website of the South African Football Association.
“I didn’t show myself to the press and I want to apologize for that, but I know from experience that sometimes it’s better not to say anything in the heat of the battle”, the former Club, Anderlecht and Genk coach continues .
South Africa played Liberia in Johannesburg and led 2-0 halfway through the first half after goals from Lyle Foster (ex-Cercle en -Westerlo). After the connection goal in the 68th minute, the 2-2 fell in extra time.
“We were clearly the better team, we clearly had the better chances, but it is also clear that we missed a lot of opportunities. And in the last half hour we handed over the game.”
South Africa is involved in a direct duel with Liberia for a ticket to the Africa Cup. The two teams will play the second leg on Tuesday.
Broos: “It will be important to recharge the batteries quickly. Because let me be clear: we absolutely want to be there in Ivory Coast next year.”
