Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos couldn't hide his elation after the team qualified for the Fifa World Cup knockouts.

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos was full of emotion and pride after guiding South Africa into the FIFA World Cup knockout stages for the first time in history, following a hard-fought 1-0 win over South Korea.

“I can’t explain how we feel, it’s a fantastic experience, today was tough but we played a fantastic match,” he said.

The decisive moment came from Thapelo Maseko’s second-half strike, but Broos insisted the achievement was built on structure, discipline, and collective improvement across the tournament.

“We had chances and tactically I think we were good. We defended well and were dangerous in transition.”
