Broos downplays unbeaten run as Bafana chase AFCON glory
Cape Times
|December 24, 2025
RECORDS are meaningless without honours and silverware in football.
BAFANA Bafana coach Hugo Broos gives instructions to defender Khuliso Mudau during their AFCON opener against Angola.
(AFP)
This is a fact that Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos knows all too well as he strives to steer his side to only their second AFCON title in three decades.
Bafana have been on a high, extending their unbeaten run in official matches to 26 games - and 27 overall - after opening their continental showpiece with a 2-1 win over Angola at the Stade de Marrakech on Monday night.
The victory, inspired by goals from Oswin Appollis and Lyle Foster, ensured that Broos — the longest-serving coach in the team’s history - celebrated his 50th match in charge in style.
Broos is no stranger to chasing the continent's biggest prize. He won AFCON with Cameroon in 2017 by laying a strong foundation around players willing to fight for the jersey, rather than relying on superstars who felt entitled to call-ups or starting roles.
