Tau saves Bafana Bafana again!
Percy Tau scored in stoppage time to snatch a 1-1 draw for South Africa against Paraguay in the Nelson Mandela Challenge held in Durban on Tuesday.
Tau, who is fast developing into the star of Bafana Bafana, ran on to a Thulani Serero pass and dinked the ball over goalkeeper Antony Silva to equalise with the last kick of the game.
Paraguay should have been more than one goal ahead at half-time at Moses Mabhida Stadium as they were denied twice by the woodwork.
The South Americans went ahead on 32 minutes when Federico Santander from Serie A outfit Bologna tapped the ball into the net after Darren Keet parried a Cecilio Dominguez cross.
"Wasting scoring chances cost us victory," Osorio said after a match.
"South Africa were a strong physical team who posed problems for us and I learnt a great deal from my first match in charge of Paraguay."
Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter said his team faced aggressive, well-prepared opponents on a badly cut-up surface.
"It must have felt like going to school for many of my players, they are not used to facing the challenges created by a South American side.
"What pleased me was we never gave up as the clock increasingly became our enemy, and might have scored before Percy equalised."
Bafana's next assignment is a crucial AFCON Qualifier against Libya away in March 2019.
