An own goal from South Africa defender, Buhle Mkhwanazi, and a strike from striker, Lebo Mothiba ensured both sides got a point.
Yobo said Tau gave Gernot Rohr’s men a lot of problems with his darting runs, adding that at the end it was a draw and a tough match.
The former Everton of England center-back, however, congratulated the Eagles for qualifying for the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
“It was a tough game, but the Super Eagles got the job done under a tough weather condition,” Yobo told Super Sports.
“Percy Tau gave the Super Eagles a lot of problems with his darting runs, but at the end it was a draw.”
“The Nigerian team had chances to kill off the game, but they were unlucky. But as it is, they are through to the next AFCON tournament and I believe they will get better.
“It is a good progression from the World Cup and now the Nations Cup. So they need more of consistency to stay up there, but I will say congratulations once again to them.”
Nigeria will face Seychelles in their final Group E game in March 2019, while Libya who must win to qualify for the 2019 AFCON will host South Africa in Sfax, Tunisia for their final game.
