Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium’s ‘Shambolic Security’ Slammed

13 October 2024 by Guest

Hugo Broos on NMB Stadium Security: “I think in the future, and it is not up to us, but as a coach I will have to ask the people of Safa if they are sure of the security in the stadium they chose. I can’t understand why before the break, I saw for an example only ten security guys but after the break suddenly there were 50.

“Where were they from the beginning of the game? We are playing a very important game and we nearly had a problem because we had two kids in the moment of enthusiasm and happiness running onto the field and nobody did something.

“There was not even a security official who was running behind those guys, this is something we need to take into account for the next game where we are going to play.”

Broos said the match commissioner told him that they would abandon the game if supporters continued to run onto the field.

“I was always asking for the crowd to… continue reading HERE.

Bafana, Senegal and Cameroon steal the show in qualifiers: South Africa, Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast did not hold back in their respective 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Friday, as Matchday Three ended in dramatic fashion across the continent.

Bafana Bafana ended their latest AFCON qualifier game week in second position in Group K following a 5-0 win against Congo at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Hugo Broos’ charges were in the mood to entertain the Gqeberha fanbase as goals by Teboho Mokoena (two), Bathusi Aubaas, Lyle Foster and Iqraam Rayners were enough for Bafana to bag maximum points on home soil.

Elsewhere, Senegal jotted down a one-sided 4-0 win against Malawi at Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade.

The Flames were reduced to 10 men after the 16th minute mark as goalkeeper Brighton Munthali fouled Sadio Mane as the final attacker en-route to goal. It was one-way traffic for… continue reading HERE.

Hugo Broos on Lyle Foster’s injury: ‘Its nothing bad, but…’: Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has downplayed the severity of Lyle Foster’s injury, but he has a small concern about the striker.

On Friday evening, Foster was carried off on a stretcher when Bafana thrashed Congo Brazzaville 5-0 in the 2025 AFCON qualifying match at a packed Nelson Mandela Stadium, in Gqeberha.

The Burnley FC striker was also on the scoresheet, scoring in the 51st minute to make it 4-0. The 24-year-old later collided with the opposition goalkeeper, chasing the ball. He was taken off just after the hour mark; in the 66th minute and he was replaced by Iqraam Rayners who netted the fifth goal.

Broos says the extent of the injury setback is not huge as it’s merely a knock on the leg, however, there is concern regarding Foster’s difficulty in walking… continue reading HERE.

Morocco crush Central African Republic, Guirassy scores hat-trick: Morocco hammered Central African Republic 5-0 and Serhou Guirassy scored a hat-trick as Guinea trounced Ethiopia 4-1 on Saturday in the final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations third-round qualifiers.

Azzedine Ounahi netted twice and Abde Ezzalzouli, Achraf Hakimi and Soufiane Rahimi once each as 2022 World Cup semi-finalists Morocco eased to victory in Oujda after leading 4-0 by half-time.

It was a predictable Group B outcome as 114 places separate top-ranked African team Morocco from the…continue reading HERE.

Bafana coach Broos feels vindicated for showing faith in Mudau and Mokoena: “I know Teboho for two years already. If I am not mistaken, he had his first selection when I became the coach. The progression that he has made in the past two years is enormous, he has become a very good player,” said Broos after the match.

“Maybe today he was motivated to show to his Sundowns coach that it was not right to put him on the bench or not to select him. This is what I like, no words or talking, just the performance on the field.”

Broos reiterated it remains Mngqithi’s decision how he uses his players at Sundowns but does not agree with him when it comes to Mudau and Mokoena.

“What I said to you a few days ago was that I respect and accept the decision of the Sundowns coach [Mngqithi] but I don’t agree with it. I think today it showed the reason I can’t agree why he [Mokoena] is not playing for Sundowns. But, it’s OK, this… continue reading HERE.
