Bafana Bafana is gearing up for their next international match, and three players have emerged as potential game-changers.
These rising stars have been making waves in the PSL and are poised to shine on the international stage.
Patrick Maswanganyi: The Next Big Thing
Orlando Pirates’ Patrick Maswanganyi has captured the hearts of South African football fans with his impressive performances. His recent goal against Uganda showcased his talent and potential to fill the void left by the aging Themba Zwane. As Bafana Bafana aims to secure a victory over South Sudan, Tito could be the key to unlocking their opponents’ defense.
Iqraam Rayners: A Proven Goalscorer
Mamelodi Sundowns’ Iqraam Rayners has been in red-hot form in the South African topflight this season, netting three goals and provided one assist across his six league appearances this season. His impressive early season form has translated to the international stage, where he has scored three goals in nine appearances for Bafana Bafana. With his lethal finishing ability, Rayners may lead the line in Cape Town, where he spent many years honing his trade with Stellenbosch FC.
Oswin Appollis: The Hidden Gem
Hugo Broos’ willingness to delve beyond the traditional pool of big-name players has paid dividends with the discovery of Oswin Appollis. The 23-year-old Polokwane City attacker has been a revelation, contributing six goal contributions (two goals, four assists) in just ten competitive appearances. Indeed, both those goals came against Tuesday’s opponents South Sudan, so keep an eye out on him!
As Bafana Bafana takes on South Sudan, these three rising stars will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match. Their talent, skill, and determination could be the difference between victory and defeat.
