Bafana Bafana midfielder Teboho Mokoena admits that his celebration in the 5-0 win over Congo Brazzaville was sparked by a full crowd capacity as he’s not used to playing in a full stadium.
Mokoena has been key for Bafana Bafana’s qualification to the AFCON that is set to take place in Morocco next year. The 27-year-old played all the qualifying matches so far and scored two goals, both coming against Congo.

The former SuperSport United midfielder has been playing different roles in his football career but mostly all in the midfield. Mokoena explained that he doesnt worry much of where he plays as long as he is in the field of play.
“I just want to play football,” Mokoena told the media.
“I just want to see myself in the field whether I’m playing centre-back, whether I play right-back, six, eight, 10. Scoring goals it’s not really a priority for me. The priority for me is to make the team play well, we defend well, our transition is good, the rest of defence is good.
“Scoring is cherry on top, but I love scoring, and I love scoring beauties.”
When he was asked about his wild celebration against Congo Brazzaville when he scored a cracker in the 5-0 win, he explained that he enjoyed the crowd as he is not used to playing in a packed stadium with the national team.
“I did enjoy it. It was fully packed. I don’t play a lot of games in the full stadium, so I had to enjoy it.
“I would love to score those goals at club level,” Mokoena added.
