Relebohile Mofokeng shines with a brace as Pitso Mosimane’s Bafana put five past Eritrea
Relebohile Mofokeng produced a starring performance as Bafana Bafana crushed Eritrea 5-0 at the Al Salam Stadium in Egypt to make it two wins from two in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane praised the performances of Oswin Appollis and Relebohile Mofokeng in their 5-0 win over Eritrea. Appollis, who had been under scrutiny for his defensive contributions, provided three assists, showing his versatility and chemistry with his teammates. Mofokeng, described by Mosimane as a player of sheer class, scored two goals and demonstrated his maturity on the national stage.
The midfielder initially capitalized on an assist from Appollis to score the opener, then added a second goal with skillful control and precision. The win was bolstered by goals from Iqraam Rayners and Luther Singh, who made a strong return to the Bafana setup after a five-year absence. Mosimane expressed his satisfaction with the team's unity and teamwork, hoping the scoring spree continues in their upcoming friendly against Egypt.
