Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has hailed Bafana Bafana midfielder Teboho Mokoena after his Man of the Match performance against Morocco.
Mokoena crowned a perfect display with a stunning free-kick in injury-time, as Bafana beat the Atlas Lions 2-0 to progress to the quarter-finals.
After the match, Mosimane shared his excitement with Mokoena’s performance on social media.
“Tebogo Mokoena! What a player. The free-kick he scored, was just the icing on the cake,” he wrote.
“He stepped on every grass leaf on the pitch. Bossing the midfield.
“No arguments, SA is one of the most tactically disciplined team in the tournament. No frills, just grinding.”
