Does Pitso regret benching Mbokazi? Bafana coach gets angry  

Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has reacted furiously after he was questioned why Mbekezeli Mbokazi did not start against Kenya.

Mosimane watched his team drop two points at the death when they conceded a late goal to draw 2-2 with Benni McCarthy’s Harambee Stars in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Orlando Amstel Arena on Friday.

Bafana were handed a gift when Amos Wanjala scored an own goal after nine minutes but shot themselves in the foot as Thabang Matuludi was penalised for a handball in the box with Michael Olunga scoring from the spot for 1-1.

Makhanya’s mistake costs Bafana

That was after they wasted a host of chances and that continued in the second half before Relebohile Mofokeng scored in the 77th minute what seemed to be the winner but Ryan Ogam shrugged off Olwethu Makhanya to score the equaliser in the 89th minute.

Mosimane started with Makhanya and Ime Okon in central defence and following the former’s mistake for Kenya’s second goal, the Bafana coach was asked if he should have opted for Mbokazi and he was not happy with it.

“Ahh come on guys, you can’t go there,” he responded. “Come on, you don’t want me to lose respect of you. You can’t go there.”

“Now you choose who must play? So we lost because of that or we lost because we missed many chances, come on. You can better than what you’re saying, right?

“It’s the right time to ask by the way, you are right,” he said as quoted by iDiski Times.
