South Africa had five defenders and two defensive midfielders for this game, which they won 2-1.
A fan accused Bafana Bafana of parking the bus against Libya. In his response to the tweet, Keet said Bafana needed a playing style that will suit the playing conditions in Sfax, Tunisia.
“It’s not parking the bus. We had a game plan that actually came off perfect. We got the goals we wanted which lead to the result we wanted. The pitch was very bad, so we had to play the way we needed to, not the way we wanted to,” read a tweet from Keet after the game.
