South Africa will face Senegal in the quarterfinals this Wednesday, May 10 (16:00 GMT). Facing the team with the best record this far in the competition does not shake the national coach of the young Bafana Bafana. Even if Duncan Crowie remains realistic. “We know that the match will be difficult against Senegal, which is no longer to present. It has shown that it remains one of the strongest teams in this competition. We must forget the first round and focus on this important appointment. My players are ready to take the challenge, even if the match will be difficult,” said the South African coach.
With one win and two losses, South Africa validated their ticket to the quarters as one of the two best third places, along with Congo. “I expect my players to raise their level of play and especially to show great mental strength for this match against Senegal. I think we deserve to be in the quarterfinals, now we have to aim higher and qualify for the World Cup,” added Duncan Crowie.
