Hugo Broos happy with performance as Tanzania hold Bafana

A number of players were handed their South Africa debuts, with no Mamelodi Sundowns players in the team due to their involvement in the Club World Cup.

Broos' side had their chances to win the clash but explained he was not concerned about the result ahead of taking on Mozambique in a second friendly on Tuesday.

Speaking after the game, the head coach said in the Citizen: "After every game we give a jersey to each player getting his first cap.

"I think today we gave out about eight jerseys. It was a totally new team, with players who hadn't played together except for the same team (club).

"So it was not easy, and that is why I said before the game that the result was not important. We wanted to win, and we could have, we had chances. But the performance was more important. And I am happy with what I saw today."

Broos added: "The defence, without (Fawaaz) Basadien, all the rest was new.

"Even Ricardo (Goss), he is always with us but it is always Ronwen (Williams) who is playing. In the midfielder (Simphiwe) Selepe was now, up front (Tshepang) Moremi was new, (Ashley) Cupido was new. What can I ask more than the performance we put up tonight? It was very positive for me and I hope to see the same thing on Tuesday and that we win."
