AFCON 2023: Super Eagles must play 100% or more to beat South Africa – Peseiro

Super Eagles gaffer, Jose Peseiro has disclosed that his wards must be at their best if they hope to beat South Africa to qualify for the AFCON final.

“We’re doing a good job. Good organisation and good commitment, we play like a team together,” the 63-year-old Portuguese coach said.

“It will be a tough match against a good national team.

“We want to beat South Africa to reach the final. For that we have to play a high-level match against a South African team who eliminated Morocco, who did a fantastic World Cup.

“We must play 100% or more to beat a very good team.”

He added: “My belief is that we can win this competition.

“But they also want to win AFCON, just like us.”

Peseiro further praised the organisation of Bafana Bafana, who parade as many as nine players from champions Mamelodi Sundowns, as well as the quality of the South African league.
