South Africa head coach, Hugo Broos has given his verdict on Super Eagles defender, Calvin Bassey’s goal against his team.

Broos watched as Bafana Bafana played a 1-1 draw against Nigeria in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier in Bloemfontein.

Recall that William Troost-Ekong’s own-goal put the hosts in front after 22 minutes.

But Bassey restored parity for Nigeria before half time, following Bright Osayi-Samuel’s cross to bundle the ball over the line.

When asked about Nigeria’s goal, Broos said at his post-match interview: “If we had defended with more aggressiveness, the goal would never have arrived, and secondly, it was a handbalI.”

The outcome of the match means South Africa still occupy top position in Group C ahead of Benin Republic and Nigeria.

Broos’ side have 17 points, while Benin and Nigeria have 14 and 11 points, respectively.
