Bafana Bafana started their COSAFA Cup campaign on a disappointing note, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Mozambique in their opening match on Wednesday afternoon.
The South African national team struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game, with Mozambique’s disciplined defense frustrating Bafana’s attacking efforts. Despite creating several chances, Bafana were unable to convert any opportunities into goals.
Mozambique capitalized on a rare breakthrough late in the match, scoring the only goal that sealed the victory. The result leaves Bafana Bafana with an uphill battle in the group stage as they look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.
Coach and players will need to regroup quickly to ensure they improve performances and secure the wins necessary to advance in the tournament. The loss serves as a wake-up call that the competition will be tough, and every match will demand their best efforts.
