Warriors coach Norman Mapeza was happy with his charges’ performance despite losing 0-1 to Bafana Bafana in a CAF 2022 World Cup qualifier played on Thursday night at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The win extended South Africa’s lead in Group G after Ghana dropped points in a 1-1 draw with Ethiopia earlier on Thursday.

The Warriors are now a massive 12 points adrift of Bafana Bafana, having lost four World Cup qualifiers on the bounce, a record on its own.

But Mapeza believes the Warriors are heading in the right direction as far as rebuilding the national team is concerned. He said:

> It’s unfortunate the team ended on a losing note but I am proud of my boys. They played so well and we could have scored on two or three occasions but at the end of the day, it’s about getting goals.

> It was a good match for my boys but we were unfortunate not to have scored on some of those occasions. We are in the right direction as far as rebuilding is concerned.

> We gave an opportunity to an 18-year-old (Bill Antonio), we will continue doing that.

> I am happy with the way we expressed ourselves.

> It’s a game of football and we picked a lot of positives, at the end of the day.

The only goal of the match came via a Tebogo Mokoena header from Keagan Dolly’s cross in the 26th minute.

Meanwhile, the South Africans have won their last four matches, in the qualifiers, and now need just a draw, in their final match in Ghana on Sunday, to make the final round of qualifying matches.
