Another Mohau Nkota special goal. The Al-Ettifaq man scores only top drawer goals whenever given a chance
Mohau Nkota’s fine striker against Zambia in a friendly international yesterday affirms him as one of the best players to don the Bafana Bafana shirt.
The former Orlando Pirates midfielder received an overhead ball from halfway line to neatly put it down with his first touch, turned a defender in and unleashed a curler past Toaster Nsabatha to send the crown in Gqeberha into a frenzy.
Such top drawer affair goals are what has out him on a pedestal for the national side as he has does at his Saudi Arabian club, Al-Ettifaq.
His Bafana coach was equally impressed as Bafana won 3-1 via Nkota, Aswin Appollis and Sphelelo Sithole netted for the home side.
“I think Mohau had a very good game, he was very aggressive, quick also dangerous and when I said we didn’t do that enough today, we were a little bit soft,” said Broos after the game.
“The tempo of the game was not high, in certain moments was not high enough. But ok that can happen and it happened today and it happened once.”
Bafana would be pleased with this win as it’s seen as a confidence booster ahead of next month’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
