JOHANNESBURG - Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has reiterated the importance of Al Ahly forward Percy Tau to the national team's success.
The 29-year-old Tau starred for Bafana Bafana in their 2-1 victory over Morocco in their Afcon qualifier.
El Kajoui, standing in for rested Yassine Bounou, allowed a Tau cross-slip from his grasp into the net after only five minutes and Zakhele Lepasa added a second on 48 minutes.
Hakim Ziyech halved the deficit on the hour, but an equaliser eluded Morocco, who last December became the first African and Arab team to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
Broos believes Tau's form is based on him being injury free and being a regular at his club.
"I've always said a good Percy Tau is very important for Bafana Bafana," Broos said.
