Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has criticised the players after their disappointing goalless draw against Eswatini on Friday evening.
The South Africans endured a frustrating evening as they were held to a stalemate by their COSAFA counterparts, who are ranked 144th in the world.

Bafana only had a total of five shots on target, although Eswatini goalkeeper Khayakwezwe Shabalala only had a couple serious saves to make.
"I'm more than disappointed, I didn't understand why the team was playing like this, already the first half no passion, no rhythm, I don't know what's happening, really I don't know what's happening," Broos told SABC Sport TV.
"I said it at halftime, I hoped we would see a better team but it was exactly the same, so I don't know. I think we have to think about what we did today in the game and when they are honest with themselves they know it was very bad," he said.
The Belgian coach did try to improve the situation with a triple change at halftime.
"You have to do something, when we were playing the first half, it was a disaster, it was very bad. I think we didn't have one chance, we had one chance I think 20 minutes before the end, for the rest nothing, not even being dangerous," Broos went on.
"With all respect, like Eswatini? You try something at halftime by pulling some players but even that didn't change."
