Afcon 2019: Baxter's tactics worked against Nigeria but not Ivory Coast - Rabutla

Former Bafana Bafana defender Andrew Rabutla remains confident the 1996 African champions will bounce back from their loss to Cote d’Ivoire in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament.

“Look, if you can check in the history of Bafana against Ivory Coast you will find out that we never struggle against them,” Rabutla told Goal.

“We expected a win against them or at least a draw to remain confident going to the next match. I don’t know what happened with us because we looked nervous from the first whistle,” he reacted.
