Stuart Baxter says if Bafana Bafana can shut the crowd up in the first 20 minutes of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria in Uyo on Saturday‚ it will be an advantage. Bafana meet Nigeria in their opening qualifier for Cameroon 2019 having never beaten their nemesis the Super Eagles in a competitive match. This will also be Baxter’s first game in charge at the start of his second tenure as Bafana coach. "I think we’ve got to shut the crowd up. That’s one of our big jobs‚" Baxter said ahead of his team’s departure to Nigeria. "If we let the crowd get excited‚ and Nigeria enjoy the game‚ then I think that’s going to be a big plus for them.
