Bafana Bafana young star Mohau Nkota impressed this weekend in the Saudi Pro League with Lyle Foster leading the line for Burnley as they fell to Liverpool.
In a 0-0 draw against Al Ahli SC in the Saudi Pro League, Al Ettifaq coach Saad Al-Shehri was full of praise for Nkota’s performance. The coach highlighted the young player’s great impact on the game, explaining that it was particularly impressive given his fatigue from a long midweek journey after playing for Bafana Bafana in South Africa.
“Nkota arrived yesterday from his country after traveling, so he was not physically ready to play 90 full minutes, yet he made the difference, especially with the bench entering the second half, and so was the case with the Calvo arrived yesterday,” said Al-Shehri as per the club’s X.
In the same league, Al Hazem winger Elias Mokwana played 27 minutes in their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Al Shabab.
