Following Bafana Bafana’s 1-1 draw with Namibia in their international friendly clash at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Thursday evening, SoccerClub scanned Twitter to find out how football supporters reacted to the result.
The South African national team got off to a great start and opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Luther Singh, who fired the ball past Namibian goalkeeper Virgil Vries after collecting a through-ball from Kermit Erasmus.
However, the Brave Warriors came into the second half invigorated and levelled matters in the 54th minute when Absalom Limbondi latched on to a long ball from Dynamo Fredericks to slot it through the legs of South African goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
South Africa and Namibia were forced to share the spoils at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg after the match ended in a draw.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the result:

The last time Bafana Bafana played well against Namibia was in 1998 during the AFCON when Benny McCarthy scored 4 goals.
They were coached by Jomo Sono.
Lucas Radebe was the captain but Benny became a bigger personality and carried the whole team singlehandedly.— Motshoane Mabena (@MotshoaneMabena) October 8, 2020
So we couldn’t even snatch a win on a friendly…? Is out standard of football that poor. ?

We need more players to play in Big Leagues that’s the only way Bafana Bafana is going to get stronger. Look at Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Algeria etc most of their players play in great football leagues.

Bafana Bafana compared to most African teams is like a kid that went to private school all his life and received the best education and facilities but still gets beaten by a village kid without stationery, who walks 10km to school on an empty stomach.
