Orlando Pirates attacker on Bafana's Chances

Orlando Pirates attacker on Bafana's Chances

Thembinkosi Lorch says that the Bafana Bafana camp is positive that they will deliver a result on Sunday that will leave the nation proud. 

The Orlando Pirates attacker received a call-up to the South African national team last week, having joined the Bafana camp off the back of a disappointing result in Guinea.

Pirates exited the CAF Champions League competition on the weekend, after suffering defeat to Horoya AC in their final group stage encounter.

However, the 25-year-old will now put that behind him as he focuses all his attention on helping Bafana qualify for the Africa Cup Of Nations competition. 

South Africa will lock horns with Libya on Sunday, March 24 in their final Afcon qualifying encounter, needing a win or a draw to book their spot in the competition that will be held in Egypt this year.  

"We have a tough task ahead of us this coming weekend but the camp has started really well and we are all positive that we can come out of here with the result that will make Mzansi proud as a football nation," Lorch told SAFA's official website.

"I have had a good run of late at club level, and have gained a lot of international experience through the CAF Champions League and I now know the best and worst circumstances on the continent. 

"It is also very inspiring that the current Bafana Bafana squad has the experience needed to conquer this challenge," he added.
