2. Bradley Cross

After putting a stellar performance in the game, the South African fullback was named the man of the match.

He was close to scoring in the first half of the game, but Washington Arubi pulled off a fantastic save to stop his effort from going in.

3. Mduduzi Shabalala

Shabalala started behind Ranga Chivaviro in the game and scored Amakhosi's equaliser with a perfect lob past Arubi.

Ashley du Preez eventually replaced the 20-year-old in the 73rd minute.
