RSA-NGA (0:1) Take 2, Game in Review

First off, we kept our sheets clean. Woo-hoo! What a game! Enough has been said about the craptaculous pitch that the players had to endure, so I’ll say no more.

My question is, “Did the Bafana Bafana really deserve to lose?” Probably not, which diminishes a bit my joy at this win. I am of the school that enjoys spirited matches where teams come hungry to take home the win, and anyone could tell that the Eagles were not hungry for it. They went through the motions and managed to best a team that they were technically superior to anyways.

A moment of brilliance from Ikechukwu Uche netted us all three points, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Dele Aiyenugba handle himself superbly, coming up with a couple of world class saves. We still have troubles in the midfield, as evidenced by the constant headaches South Africa were giving us.

The bottom line: We got the win. Coach Amodu is content, so why shouldn’t I be? We’re up against the Leone Stars at home next. Predictions?
