Jamaica coach Rudolph Speid insisted Bafana Bafana were not at their best against Jamaica and did not play to their full potential.

The Jamaican outfit were forced to share the spoils with Bafana after playing out to a 1-1 draw in their international friendly.

Lyle Foster opened the scoring for South Africa but Dwayne Atkinson equalised in the second-half at the Estadio Hidalgo.

Speid warned that Hugo Broos’ side should expect a fierce challenge from the hosts, predicting an aggressive high-pressing approach backed by a passionate home crowd at the iconic Azteca Stadium.

“As it relates to South Africa, I think they were playing within themselves, though, because probably, you know, players don’t want to get injured and everybody wants to impress the coach,” he said.

“I didn’t think they were going for it as much as they could have. But playing against Mexico in the Azteca Stadium (in the opening match of the World Cup), there’s going to be 123,000 screaming Mexicans in there, I can tell you.

“They’ll probably overload it, they’re going to be pressing high up the pitch, especially in the first half.

“They’re going to be pressing very high in the first half, relentless pressing, but of course, the pressure will ease as the game goes along.”
