Afcon 2019: South Africa failed to execute game plan against Ivory Coast - Tau

The 25-year-old player has taken aim at Namibia's Brave Warriors following the 1996 Afcon champions' narrow defeat

South Africa international Percy Tau feels that they could have done better in their defeat to Ivory Coast on Monday afternoon.

Bafana Bafana began their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Group D campaign with a 1-0 loss to the Elephants at the Al Salam Stadium in Egypt.

Tau spearheaded Bafana's attack with Lebogang Mothiba, and the two Europe-based strikers struggled to impose themselves.

"We could have done better. If we made some touches in attack it was going to be better," Tau told the media.
