Pitso Mosimane hails Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis after Bafana Bafana's 5-0 win over Eritrea

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.
