Hugo Broos is not a happy man.

The Bafana Bafana coach is livid. The Belgian-born coach is fuming.

Egypt’s 1-0 win over Bafana in the Africa Cup of Nations Group B match is the source of Broos’ disappointment.

The Mohamed Salah controversial penalty is a decision Broos feels was not a correct one from the officials.

A VAR call gave a The Pharaohs a penalty after Bafana defender Khuliso Mudau’s hand was in Salah’s face at the packed State Adra Stadium in Agadir.

The Liverpool striker scored from the spot to send the Egyptian dominated crowd into delirium.

“My opinion is that first of all first half Egypt was the better team and then second half we were the better team and the game is decided by two decisions that were not right,” Broos told the media after the match.

“The first it’s ridiculous, even Mo Salah said to me after the game that he was surprised that was a penalty and the second was a real penalty because the arm was extended on the body and the ball hit the arm.

“But then suddenly, there’s a rule of a supporting arm what is a supporting arm so again there are so many rules now of this no penalty or penalty that people don’t know any more what to decide."
