Percy Tau was delighted to score on his Ahly debut and will now look fire Bafana to the final round of qualifying for Qatar 2022.
Bafana Bafana should see a Percy Tau buzzing with the confidence of shining again at a big club, with the attacking wizard set to return to the South African team for Thursday’s Fifa World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe at FNB Stadium.Tau was perhaps a little under-cooked when Bafana opened their Group G qualifying campaign with a goalless draw in Zimbabwe, followed by a 1-0 home win over Ghana, even if he did score a ‘goal’ in that game that was incorrectly ruled out for offside.
Bafana fans will hope he can now help the team complete a successful campaign in Group G – a victory over Zimbabwe on Thursday and a point in Ghana on Sunday will ensure that Hugo Broos’ side top Group G and make it into the final qualifying round for the five African places at Qatar 2022. Tau was happy to watch from the sidelines as Bafana managed to get home-and-away wins over Ethiopia in October, to keep their place on top of Group G.“I always had to believe the players could do the job, even when we missed one player, we still had to be able to go out and win against Ethiopia. I was watching and was still a part of the team.”
