Hugo Broos: Thepang Moremi changed our game against Angola which now helps us to face Egypt without too much pressure in the tournament

Hugo Broos has hailed Tshepang Moremi’s introduction in their 2-1 victory over Angola.

Bafana opened their 35th edition Africa Cup of Nations with a win via Oswin Appollis and Lyle Foster scoring for Bafana.

The reason Broos believes Moremi was the game changer because the Orlando Pirates midfielder’s introduction in the start of the second stanza saw Bafana attack Angola more.

“Tshepang did wonderful coming in the team, suddenly there was speed in our team, we were dangerous we scored goal which was offside, I don’t know what happened there," Broos said on SABC Sport after the game.

"But yes, he was a threat for our opponents and he did it very well in the 45 minutes he played.”

Broos said the win is good for them as they will now approach their next game against Egypt with ease. According to Broos not earning three points against Angola would have made them face The Pharaohs with less pressure.

“We tried to avoid that because if you’ve lost the game today then you have Egypt then you are in big trouble, but I wasn’t pleased with the game we played in the first half and just the moment we led 1-0 and then we fell asleep,” Broos said.

“We let Angola come back in the game so we put something right during halftime and then you see the second half, we make more pressure and there’s more movement in the team and we had chances and this is what I want.
