US female official to handle Bafana Bafana match against Czechia on Thursday

Female Refereee Tori Penso will be in charge of Bafana Bafana's highly anticipated match against Czechia in their second Group A World Cup game.

The US native is expected to be the authority in this match as Bafana hope to earn their maiden victory in his year's global spectacle.

Hugo Broos' troops are winless in this tournament as they lost 2-0 to co-hosts Mexico last Thursday.

So this game against Czechia is one of the important ones they play under Belgian born Broos.

The well respected female official in Penso will be assisted by fellow Americans Brooke Mayo and Kathryn Nesbitt, while Campbell-Kirk Kawana-Waugh from New Zealand will serve as the fourth official.
