Football analyst Uche Anuma during an exclusive chat with Briefly News shared his thoughts on what it means for Mofokeng as he scored his first career hat-trick against the Rockets.

"He struggled at the start of the season, but he has regained his full confidence since the start of the second half of the season, this hat-trick will push him to do more, as he would make him believe more in his potential.
