by Kickoff writer · KickOffBafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was full of praise for Tshepang Moremi's impact off the bench in the 2-1 win over Angola on Monday evening.
The third-place finishers from the last edition saved face and made a winning start to the tournament courtesy of Oswin Appollis and Lyle Foster.
At the last tournament two years ago, Bafana started the tournament with a loss to Mali but this time around avoided a resolute Palancas Negras and pulled over the line.

“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 told SABC Sport.
“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,” continued the boss.
Orlando Pirates winger Tshepang Moremi came on ahead of the second half for his tournament debut and caused all sorts of problems in the last third.
“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. But yes, he was a threat for our opponents and he did it very well in the 45 minutes he played,” Broos said.
