THRASHED: Congo Coach Reacts To Big Bafana Loss

GQEBERHA, SOUTH AFRICA - OCTOBER 11: Ngata Isaac, Head Coach, of Congo during the 2025 African Cup of Nations, Qualifier match between South Africa and Republic of Congo at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on October 11, 2024 in Gqeberha, South Africa. (Photo by Richard Huggard/Gallo Images)

Congo-Brazzaville head coach Isaac N'Gata has reacted to his side's 5-0 defeat at the hands of Bafana Bafana on Friday night.

The visiting side had a night to forget at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium as they were no match for Hugo Broos' charges.

"We cannot feel very well after this score you know,"  N'Gata said via a translator on SABC Sport.

"We came here with good ambitions to press them up but they have a good team, played very well. In the first-half we were not in the game, after we tried to play, they scored again."

Congo's preparations for the clash were disrupted as they only arrived in the country on Thursday evening.

However, N'Gata did not want to use their off-field issues as an excuse for the heavy defeat.

"We didn't have fresh games to prepare at home, we didn't have a lot of time but that's not a problem," the coach continued.

"The problem is the will, if you want to play good you can play, our goalkeeper was not fit today, that's the problem."

Congo sit third in Group K ahead of Tuesday's reverse fixture against South Africa.
