Three best players in Bafana Bafana's win over Congo

Sports journalist Uche Anuma while speaking to Briefly News shared his thoughts on Bafana Bafana's five-star performance against Congo while naming the three players who stood out in the match.

"It was an exciting match, to be sincere; Bafana Bafana dominated from start to finish," he said.

"All the players had a fantastic game, but Teboho Mokoena, Bathusi Aubaas and Oswin Appollis stood out for me.

"Mokoena's performance proved that class is permanent; despite being out of Mamelodi Sundowns, he still produced a Man of the Match performance today.

"Aubaas is the one who surprised me the most, from being called up to starting the game and also forming an excellent midfield pair with Mokoena; that was a solid performance from him.

"I don't know what Broos told Appollis before the game, but he has constantly proved to the Belgian that he is a player on whom the team can rely.
