Relebohile Mofokeng is carrying South Africa. The Union Saint-Gilloise striker scored twice on Tuesday against Eritrea to put Bafana Bafana 2-0 up in the 50th minute of this matchday 2 fixture in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

A brace at Al Salam Stadium

It was first from an Oswin Appollis delivery in the 19th minute that Relebohile Mofokeng opened the scoring. The goalscorer struck again just before the break, in the 45th+1 minute, this time from a pass by Samukelo Kabini.

Two goals that put South Africa on course for victory at Cairo's Al Salam Stadium.

Bafana Bafana firmly at the top

Thanks to this brace, Pitso Mosimane's men are firmly top of Group D with 6 points, pending the final whistle. The South Africans made an ideal start to their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Guinea's Syli National.
