\n

Bafana Bafana head coach, Hugo Broos was full of praise for his players despite losing their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final 4-2 on penalties against Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The former champions put up a resolute display in the keenly contested encounter.<\/p>\n

Bafana Bafana forced extra-time after Teboho Mokoena cancelled out William Troost-Ekong\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n

It was the Super Eagles, who however prevailed in the shootout.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball can be hard,\u201d Broos said after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, that can happen in football. It\u2019s a big disappointment for everyone because we feel that we played a very good game today, that we played a very good AFCON.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very, very proud of it. I\u2019m proud of my players. The disappointment is this, but the proudness is that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bafana Bafana will face Congo Democratic Republic in the third-place final on Saturday.<\/p>\n
