Disappointment for Bafana Bafana vice-captain Percy Tau on debut as Qatar SC suffer heavy defeat to Al Nasr in UAE-Qatar Super Cup

Percy Tau started on his Qatar SC debut as his side heavily lost 5-1 to Al Nasr in a Qatar-UAE Super Cup match at Dubai's Al Maktoum Stadium on Friday.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker was earlier this week confirmed as a new Qatar SC player after joining them from Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

But his debut was a forgettable experience as his new team was clobbered by their opponents from the UAE.

Tau starting on his debut and lasting 90 minutes is a show of the confidence Qatar SC coach Youssef Safri has in him.

While he failed to make an impact in his first match, the Bafana star is now left with a challenge to up his game and cement his place in the starting lineup.

Qatar SC switch attention back to their local Stars League and they visit Al Sadd next Thursday.

Tau will be hoping to start again and help his side rise from 11th position on the domestic league's table.
