Khoza excites Ntseki as Bafana earn a crucial point in Chan opener against Algeria
Playing with a team made up of many players who are unattached and looking to attract clubs in the Premier Soccer League and elsewhere for the 2025-2026 season, Ntseki said they started well against an Algerian side that never gave them a chance to execute their plan throughout the 90 minutes.
'Credit must be given to players for grinding the result like they did with the high intensity coming from Algeria. We played against a very structured team with very good individual players. In saying so, I'm also giving credit to our structure and our players to carry out our tactical plan,' said Ntseki.
Indeed, Bafana's structure looked good in their equaliser which came from a long, good pass from Mamelodi Sundowns young defender and man-of-the-match Malibongwe Khoza to Menzi Masuku who trapped the ball to Kutumela to cancel Algeria's opener which had come via Abdennour Belhocini.
Bafana turn their attention now to their second game against Guinea in Kampala and Ntseki said it will be crucial to collect the maximum points in that game. Bafana face Niger on Friday before finishing their group matches against the hosts Uganda on August 18.
