Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has confirmed the team will play one more friendly before their FIFA World Cup campaign gets underway.

The South Africans were held to a goalless draw against lowly-ranked Nicaragua in their final clash before departing for the World Cup.

The Belgian confirmed Bafana will face Jamaica on 5 June.

“We have another game on the 5th June against Jamaica. I hope than that opponent will play football against us and that can be the first indication of the squad that will start against Mexico,” Broos told SABC Sport.

Broos was happy with display on the day despite not scoring against a team, who feels came to South Africa to defend.

“Surely, “I think we can be happy about the performance of the team even within today, but if you play against such a negative opponent than it becomes very difficult. Those people came here 90 minutes and defend, kicking the ball in front and then at the end injuries, one minute after the other so yeah it was all very negative and for us very difficult,” Broos told SABC Sport post-match.

“Yes, we missed a penalty when we score there, I think we can score more goals also because then they will try something, but then the opponent didn’t try anything today except defending,” he added
