These fans were ecstatic and said, \u201cThey didn\u2019t want to disappoint us and they didn\u2019t want to disappoint themselves and we have seen coach Hugo Broos is listening to us as supporters we needed a team that is attacking. We needed Makgopa, Mofokeng we needed Appollis and he started with them and it\u2019s something that won us the match.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we like is that we got the three points we needed. It shows the people of South Africa (SA) that Bafana Bafana is here to play and not just to add numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so excited yes I was expecting something like this actually again it comes as a surprise for the first time in my life seeing Bafana Bafana qualifying for the next round.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe made history indeed, they came out guns blazing like the Bafana that we know even from the coaches side. Job well done.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything aligned with Mexico winning and us winning. It\u2019s exactly what we expected. I think the score could have been 4-nil, nonetheless we will take the win and go to the next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday the class of 2026 have made SA proud. You know those who have powers wake our ancestors. Tell Mandela, tell Desmond Tutu Bafana, the boys have finally did it. Look FIFA have done a mistake you cannot play Bafana Bafana at 3am when our beloved grandmother\u2019s are up, alive and busy on duty. The national team has done us proud, we are happy with what we have witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
