Uganda took a 53rd-minute lead through Rogers Mato but Thalente Mbatha secured a point for his side deep into injury time at the end of the encounter.

Bafana goalkeeper Veli Mothwa was criticised for his involvement in the second goal conceded and might make way for one of Ricardo Goss of Sipho Chaine.

“It’s not a nice thing for a goalkeeper when he makes such a mistake,” said Broos.

“Okay, it’s 1-1 but as a keeper, you know what you’ve done. We could have lost the game with that.

“He’s really down for the moment, but we will see in the next few days. If you feel he’s not ready to play the game on Tuesday [against South Sudan].

“Then you can’t put him in because the risk is there that he will make the mistake again.”

Broos added: “We will try to find a solution next Tuesday, and certainly not starting to doubt this one or that one.

“But you can be sure there will be changes in the team that’s for sure.”
