South African defender Buhle Mkhwanazi says they were confident of beating Egypt in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Round of 16 match on Saturday night.
The Bidvest Wits centre-back stated that their approach was the same as the one they applied against Morocco in their final Group D match which they lost 1-0 on Monday.
“I think they are both the same, [difference between the last game and this one], we applied the same mentality and tactics it’s just that we could not score against Morocco and they scored late hence they won the game,” Mkhwanazi told the media.
