That draw saw Bafana Bafana’s chances to qualify for the World Cup hanging by a thread and needing favours from Nigeria in their final game against Group C leaders Benin.
Morena says against Rwanda they will have to be composed in the final third tomorrow.
"To make sure that we grind the results, to be honest, put in an under-pressure world is what happened on Friday. We went to the Friday game focusing on getting a goal, trying our level best to score but we rushed our decisions, everything was in a rush,” Morena said.
“So, I feel like that's also the foot that we put in the game but for this game we're gonna go guns blazing but not too edgy to get the goal. Eventually, we will get goals, it's one thing that we do, especially when we play at home."
After a sold-out crowd at the Moses Mabhida stadium, Morena says another good turnout in Mpumalanga will drive the team in tomorrow’s clash against Amavubi.
"And we have the advantage because we know our people are gonna come out and support and also we believe in everyone in the team. Putting the hard work and making sure that we do well on the final passes and on the final third,” he added.
“It's gonna be much better than this. Let's go to Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday, we need your support, you know you are always our 12th man and at home let's cherish Bafana Bafana, we are going all out."
Bafana need to win their game against Rwanda and hope that Nigeria beats Benin to finish on top of the group and qualify.
If the game in Uyo ends in a draw, Bafana needs to win by two clear goals, assuming that the other game won’t end with Gabon having scored more than two goals.
