Broos was pleased with his players’ display in Durban, but believes they could have defended better to prevent Panama’s goal.
“I think everybody can agree that we played a good game. We dominated Panama for 90 minutes and we only made two mistakes during the game,” said Broos.”Their goal, we should have kicked that ball into the stands, but we wanted to do things in a nice way. I told the players during halftime that there is nothing wrong with kicking the ball into the stands when they are under pressure. The second chance was in the second half,” he added.
