Rohr To South Africa : Play As You Did Against Super Eagles, You'll Beat Libya
Published: November 17, 2018
With Libya hammering Seychelles 8-1 on Saturday afternoon, it is going to be a big battle when South Africa face the Mediterranean Knights in March 2019 for the last ticket in Group E of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr named Brighton & Hove loanee Percy Tau as the South Africa player that impressed him the most in today's contest at the FNB Stadium.
The 24-year-old forward kept the Nigeria defense busy throughout the game and showed brilliant footwork to set up the South African equaliser scored by Lebo Mothiba in the 26th minute.
The Super Eagles won back-to-back games against Libya in October, while South Africa were held to a goalless draw by the North Africans two months ago.
Commenting on South Africa's final group game vs Libya, Rohr told SuperSport : ''It will be a big battle, in Sfax we played a very good Libyan team. They saw already here that it is not easy to beat them.
''But I think that if South Africa played as they did today, with Percy Tau who is a wonderful player they are going to beat them and even a draw will be enough.
''I think they will be with us at the next AFCON in Cameroon.''
