Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has made a plea to the supporters after their victory over Democratic Republic of Congo.
The South Africans returned to winning ways after Lyle Foster's first-half strike secured a 1-0 win over the Leopards at Orlando Stadium.
While Broos was pleased with the result, he was a bit disappointed about the turn out for the home crowd.

"I think it was a difficult game for us today, I had a feeling we played outside (of the country), there were more supporters from Congo than us and that's a little bit disappointing," Broos told SABC Sport after the game.
"You need them in such a game. You need the supporters, the team of Congo grew in the game because their supporters were supporting them and let's hope in the future we'll have more supporters.
"Besides that, again, it was a very difficult game, we played against a good team and for us it was a little bit…not enough but okay, you can win those games also and that was the most important thing today," he said.
Broos continued and explained that he was happy with the new players he gave chances to and the fighting spirit the team showed.
"I said before the game that this camp was to see new players, we don't have to forget that we have several players who are not there and that is maybe a little bit too heavy for our team that we have to make some changes," Broos said.
"But on the other side we fought for it today, we tried to win that game, we had some chances, Congo also had some chances, so I think it was a nice game to see but the performances have to be better in the future."
