“The coach who wins the game always has the best tactic; it’s always like that,” Broos said.

“If Morocco had scored with the chances they had, then [we would have] lost the game, then you ask me, ‘coach, why are you playing like that?’.

“But we did a very good analysis of Morocco. It’s not the first time we played against them; we know that their team hasn’t changed so much,” he added as per Sowetan.

Broos was in charge back in June when Bafana defeated Morocco 2-1 in the Afcon qualifiers.

“They have good players, so we knew how we should play. Again, I think this was the right tactic. That team is a really good team.

“There were certain moments in the game that we needed a bit of luck in the second half. They missed a penalty, they had good chances; then you win the game,” Broos added.
