On another day, Tau would come out tops in dribbling his way past defenders and setting up teammates up front. But that he’s match unfit meant that the new Al Ahly midfielder battled with pace, while his passing accuracy was not sharp either.

Tau couldn’t have been expected to carry the scoring baggage alone. Links and Singh were supposed to assist him and the duo were just not in it. They gave little to the team going forward. That lacklustre performance meant there was more work for their midfielders.According to Broos's post-match reaction, Mokoena and Mothobi Mvala were Bafana’s best players on the park in Harare.

It seemed like it – especially in the first half. The Zimbabwean striking contingent were proving to be a handful for Bafana’s defence. Nyiko Mobbie was played out of position as a left back, while Thapelo Morena was explosive in attack but blunt in turnovers. Siyanda Xulu, though, was a cornerstone for Bafana’s defence, shielding the ever-improving Rushine De Reuck. Ronwen Williams, the captain, will be happy with the clean sheet, but he’ll know, just like Broos, that they need to start scoring goals.On Monday, Bafana will host Ghana at the FNB Stadium, needing nothing less than a win if they are going to set a tone about their aspirations in the qualifiers.
