Incredible! Lyle Foster matches Bafana Bafana milestone for the first time since 1996

An impressive feat was matched by 25-year-old Burnley and South Africa forward Lyle Foster in the clash against Angola.

Details: Yesterday, in a Group B encounter at AFCON, South Africa secured a 2-1 victory over Angola. But beyond the well-deserved three points, Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster, who plays in the Premier League for Burnley, equaled a legendary national achievement last accomplished back in 1996.

Here's the story: When Foster put his side 2-1 ahead in the 79th minute, he became the first South African player in nearly three decades to score at the Africa Cup of Nations while playing for an English Premier League club.

The last to do so was the iconic Phil Masinga, who found the net for Leeds United against Cameroon at AFCON 1996.

So Foster not only clinched victory for his country but also etched his name into South African football history.

Reminder: Hold on! The referee disallows Bafana Bafana's goal after VAR intervention. What's going on?
