South Africa head coach Hugo Broos has opened up on the point deduction docked by the football governing body FIFA last week.
The Bafana Bafana were docked three points and three goals last week by FIFA after being found guilty of playing an ineligible player.
The issue started when midfielder Teboho Mokoena played in the Group C qualifier against Lesotho on March 21, which Bafana initially won.
Mokoena, however, should have been suspended, having accumulated two yellow cards in previous group stage matches.

“There is nothing changed, after the game against Nigeria, we were three points ahead. We still had to win our last two games.
"Why believe Benin will win their last two games and we not. I don't understand why people start doubting, and say we can't qualify anymore...
"People have to stop now to look for who is responsible, we all know he made a mistake. But between the first match and the second, there were 16 months, we also played AFCON...

"Who is responsible, it's clear, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵. My staff is responsible, the coaching staff is responsible, the player is responsible and SAFA administration is responsible."
South Africa will round up their qualification campaign against Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Meanwhile, Benin will play Rwanda and then third-place Nigeria in their final two qualifiers. The Super Eagles are scheduled to face Lesotho and Benin in October.
