On Thursday, it was the four-year anniversary of a wonder goal in the PSL, which saw Tau produce one of the greatest assists of all-time, setting up Billiat during Mamelodi Sundowns’ 1-0 victory over Cape Town City in February 2018.

Mosimane was reminded of the clip on social media, fondly commenting: “When talent is there, players express themselves freely on the pitch according (to) the game demands, then we are bound to see amazing individual football skills. No coach can claim that he trained the players to do all these.”

Some four years later, Mosimane and his team have traveled to the United Arab Emirates ahead of their Club World Cup clash against CONCACAF representatives Monterrey this Saturday.

However, according to reports out of Egypt, Mosimane is now isolating after returning a positive Covid test, although the good news is that he is asymptomatic.

That latest setback comes as Tau was already ruled out with an injury, joining Akram Tawfik, Salah Mohsen and Badr Benoun on the sidelines. Due to AFCON duty, Al Ahly area also without the likes of Mohamed El-Shennawy, Ayman Ashraf, Mohamed Abdelmoneim, Hamdi Fathi, Amr El-Sulya, and Mohamed Sherif for the clash against Monterrey.
