Afcon 2019: South Africa need better strategy against Namibia, says Mothiba

South Africa international Lebogang Mothiba has urged his team-mates to forget about their defeat to Ivory Coast.

Bafana Bafana succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Elephants in their maiden 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group D fixture on Monday.

Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia's second-half goal earned Ivory Coast a hard-fought victory over South Africa at the Al-Salam Stadium in Egypt.

Mothiba, 23, reflected on the defeat and he stated that they lost to a good team, but they have to move on and focus on their clash with Namibia's Brave Warriors on Friday.
