South Africa head coach, Hugo Broos says coming up against the Super Eagles will be a huge challenge for his side, but his upbeat they can come out with a win.
Bafana Bafana will face the three-time champions at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake on Wednesday night (today).
Broos’ side lost all their previous AFCON games against Nigeria and the latter will also go into the fixture as the favourites.
The Belgian however believes his side can beat the Super Eagles to the final ticket.
“Yes, we know and understand who we are up against. We know the might of this team and that their players play all over Europe,” the Belgian told a press conference in Bouake.
“We also know that last time in an AFCON what the result was, but this time it’s different. It’s different players, a different team and a different AFCON. Anything is possible.”
Broos is bidding for a second AFCON title after leading Cameroon to the winners’ medal in 2017.
