South Africa lost the game 3-0 and will struggle to get to the second round of the World Cup.
“We have to go on and believe,” Mokoena stated after the match to Football365.co.za. “[Tonight’s result] was unacceptable.
“Hopefully we will come back against France, as we have one game to show belief in ourselves.
“We did not play well this evening. We didn’t show up in the first 15-20 minutes. Uruguay pressed us from all angles, and we lost our belief,” he concluded.
