Hugo Broos hails Moremi impact after Bafana’s AFCON opener

The Belgian mentor introduced Moremi at half-time, replacing an ineffective Mohau Nkota with the match tied at 1-1. The impact was almost immediate, with the winger finding the net before seeing his effort ruled out.

Broos said Moremi’s pace and directness stretched the Angolan defence as Lyle Foster added to Oswin Appollis’ opener, sealing a 2-1 Group B victory.

The Bafana coach was satisfied with the final outcome, but he admits his charges picked up some strange habits before reclaiming their lead.

"We are very happy with the victory, now we can look forward to the game on Friday against Egypt. In other circumstances we could've lost points today, because we have to play like we did in the second half. I don't know why, but sometimes we fell asleep in the first half."

Not only did Bafana continue on a winless streak but three points also coincided with Broos’ 50th match in charge.

"These are nice records, but I don't really look at that, and we are not doing it for that reason. We just want to win every game and that's our philosophy like we showed in the second half."
