Bafana complete three-win camp after Dithejane sinks Egypt 1-0 in Cairo

Bafana Bafana concluded their international camp with a perfect record, claiming three victories in three matches, including a 1-0 triumph against Egypt in Cairo on Sunday. President Cyril Ramaphosa was among the dignitaries cheering from the stands as the South African national team secured a win that marked the end of their September-October international window.

Midfielder Puso Dithejane, making his debut for Bafana, scored the decisive goal in the 51st minute, marking his senior international debut and also scoring his first goal for his country. The young Chicago Fire winger outplayed the Egyptians with persistence and composure, slotting the ball past the goalkeeper into an empty net.

The win followed two consecutive Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victories over Guinea and Eritrea, cementing a perfect return from the camp. Coach Pitso Mosimane made significant changes to the team following their dominant 5-0 win against Eritrea, giving several players a chance to prove themselves against a top-tier African team.

While Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis contributed goals and assists in the qualifiers, it was Dithejane's goal that secured the victory over Egypt, highlighting his talent and potential in international football.
