Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has been impressed with the partnership between Percy Tau and Lebo Mothiba on attack for the national team.

The South African national team were forced to share the spoils with Paraguay in the Nelson Mandela Challenge after playing out to a 1-1 draw through a late equaliser from Percy Tau.

Baxter feels that Tau is beginning to hit top form, following his slow start to life abroad playing for Belgian outfit Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, where he has already scored four goals and assisted a further five from 13 appearances in all competitions.

Meanwhile, the Bafana mentor has been equally impressed with Mothiba, who has featured 13 times for French side Strasbourg while scoring seven goals and assisting a further one in the process.

‘The combination between Lebo [Lebohang Maboe] and Percy Tau looks very interesting. I think Percy has been on fire the last two games [for Bafana], but when he first went to Belgium I think it took him a little bit of time to clear his head,’ Baxter told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘He had a little patch where he was doubtful, but the clouds have cleared now and we’re seeing sunshine.’

Bafana Bafana will now go head-to-head with Libya in their final African Cup of Nations Group E qualifier on 22 March 2019.
