In a tactical shift for the World Cup last-32 match against Canada in Los Angeles, South Africa’s coach Hugo Broos has made a notable change to the starting lineup by opting for Teboho Mokoena over Thalente Mbatha.
Mokoena returns to the squad after serving a one-match suspension, missing South Africa’s last Group A victory against South Korea, which ended in a 1-0 win.
In tonight’s match, Bafana Bafana will feature Sphephelo Sithole and Mokoena as their holding midfielders, aiming to strengthen their midfield against the Canadian side.
