Siphiwe Tshabalala boosts Bafana Bafana belief after Czechia stalemate – ‘Our hope is renewed’

The equaliser arrived from the penalty spot, expertly dispatched by Teboho Mokoena.

Speaking about the penalty, Tshabalala added: “That is character, that is leadership. He has what it takes to lead the team.

“He does not need an armband to lead the team.

“So that is character, but everyone played with confidence, and prior to the penalty, [Thapelo] Maseko was on the right, full of confidence; he took the player on, he took a shot and that resulted in a penalty.”
