Hugo Broos on selecting striker Evidence Makgopa: Show me a striker better than Evidence then I will drop him but until then I will call Evidence

Evidence Makgopa remains Hugo Broos’ trusted and reliable striker for Bafana Bafana.

Broos said until he finds a marksman better than the lanky Orlando Pirates forward he will select the former Baroka forward for the national side.

Makgopa is part of the national side to face Panama in two friendly internationals in the upcoming Fifa International break to be played in Durban and Cape Town.

“You know we are talking about consistency, and for strikers, I like that. Lyle never disappointed me, I think in every game he played at the 2025 AFCON he scored,” Broos said. “It is the same thing with Makgopa, even though he doesn’t play regularly at the moment for Pirates.

“Two years ago, everybody was asking, ‘Where were you taking Makgopa?’, but you saw what he did at the AFCON. So he’s always there, he’s always the guy who works hard, and I will not drop him before I see someone who is much better than him.”
