David Notoane has revealed that Teboho Mokoena was not on free-kick duty against the Ivory Coast‚ but stepped up to score a brilliant winner from 35-yards to secure a precious 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast in their Africa Under-23 Cup of Nations Group B clash on Tuesday.

The victory propels South Africa to the top of the pool and a point against Nigeria on Friday will secure a semifinal berth as they hunt their ultimate goal – qualification for the Tokyo 2022 Olympic Games.

“We prepare‚ we do set-plays in training‚ we decide who kicks and who goes where. But sometimes you have to give the players the opportunity to react to how they see the game.” “It was a tactical game‚ physical game‚ so at the end of the day‚ it was going to take a special moment to determine the result.

“It was not the best performance from us in terms of the football we want to play‚ but in a tournament it is very important to get the three points‚ then we see what happens. Now the group is open for anybody to take.”
