Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos believes his side deserved the win after putting on a dominant performance against Benin.

South Africa extended their winning run to three consecutive matches in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers following their 2-0 win over Benin.

Bafana opened the scoring in the 52nd minute when Lyle Foster found the back of the net before Jayden Adams put the game to bed with an 82nd-minute goal at the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny in Abidjan.

The victory saw South Africa move five points clear at the top of the Group C standings with 13 points after six matches.

Broos insists that once the first goal came in, he knew there would be another goal to ensure they walked away with the victory.

“I think, first of all, there was a good analysis of the opponent, so congratulations to our analysis,” said Broos after the match.

“Secondly, I think that the players did what we asked them. We knew where we could be dangerous against this team of Benin. It’s a good team but what we did very good today is keeping the ball in the team and waiting for the right moments.

“So, first half, Benin could do something, but the second half, I think, with the weather being very hot, they were tired at a certain moment, and for us, it started to be more easy. We could score once we could score the second time. And I said on the bench to my assistants, if we score once, we will win the game, and I think it was a game like that.

“Benin was not capable to do something except the little chance that they had the first half, but apart of that we dominated the game, and we deserved the win.”
