Guinea-Bissau coach: We should have left with a draw

Guinea-Bissau coach Baciro Cande felt the two penalties awarded to Bafana Bafana against his team were harsh.


South Africa beat Guinea-Bissau 3-1 in a friendly match the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Two of South Africa’s goals came from the penalty spot.

Cande was not disappointed by his side’s performance against a “strong” Bafana Bafana, however he felt his side deserved a draw. The African Wild Dogs have lost four time out of their last five games.

“We played well even though I don’t agree with the decision of awarding the first penalty,” Said Cande.

“In my personal opinion, I believe we did our best but that’s how the game went. The way I see it, I thought maybe we should have left here with a 2-2 [result],” he added.

“But, be that as it may, it’s okay, I’m not blaming the referee or anyone, it’s just my opinion.”

Bafana Bafana will play against Angola at the Buffalo Stadium in East London on Tuesday evening at 19:00.
