AFCON 2025 – Hugo Broos encourages Bafana Bafana not to fear Salah, Marmoush

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has encouraged his players not to overthink the threat posed by Egypt's quality individual players, such as Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Omar Marmoush in their clash in Agadir on Friday.
South Africa's 2-1 win over Angola on Monday demonstrated how in Broos' Bafana, fullbacks often bomb forward and even centre-backs such as Mbekezeli Mbokazi go on marauding runs.
Left-back Aubrey Modiba put in a fantastic offensive shift, adding bodies to the attack down his flank. Now, Broos faces the difficult task of potentially having to prepare for Salah on the same side of the pitch. The Belgian warned against overthinking the quality of individual Egypt players.

Afcon roundup: Mohamed Salah strikes again as 10-man Egypt hold off South Africa
Mohamed Salah scored a first-half penalty as 10-man Egypt defeated South Africa 1-0 in their Africa Cup of Nations Group B clash in Agadir on Friday to become the first team into the knockout stages of the competition.
Egypt have six points from their opening two games and cannot finish outside of the top two in the group. South Africa have three points from their two games, while Zimbabwe and Angola have one each after they drew 1-1 earlier in the day.
Salah won the penalty when he was clipped in the face by South Africa defender Khuliso Mudau as they tussled for the ball in the box, and stepped up to easily convert for his second goal of the tournament.
