Head coach Hugo Broos has hinted towards a big change in his attacking line ahead of Bafana Bafana’s friendly Algeria as the search for a lethal goal scorer continues.
Despite making 14 attempts at goal, Broos’ men were held to a 1-1 draw by Andorra on Tuesday evening. Bafana’s only goal of the match came from winger Elias Mokwana.

On the night, the coach granted DStv Premiership top goal scorer Khanyisa Mayo a starting place up front. But the City attacker struggled to make an impact, eventually being substituted by Stellenbosch FC's Rayners.
In his post-match press conference, Broos lamented the side’s missed chances, and more recently, he hinted at a change up front, with Rayners set to replace Mayo.
"We will see about Iqraam (Rayners) on Tuesday," Broos told SAFA media.
"So, he will play, but everybody has to know that these games, international games are one or two levels high, so it’s not always so easy to score.
"On the other hand, we have to look at also that for the moment, there are three strikers that are not there; Makgopa is not there, Mothiba is not there and Foster is not there.

"So, there are some things to wait for and I hope all three of them, maybe not Mothiba but certainly (Lyle) Foster and (Evidence) Makgopa will be ready in June because those games are more important and we proved already AFCON that we can score.
"Last Thursday we had too many chances and we scored not enough."
Bafana’s match against The Desert Eagles is scheduled to kick off at 23:00 tonight.
