Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has heaped praise on two players from rival club Orlando Pirates.

This comes following Bafana Bafana’s dramatic come-from-behind victory over South Sudan on Tuesday afternoon.

According to Khumalo, Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana side are benefiting from Orlando Pirates’ competitive edge.

While the likes of Kaizer Chiefs and others are yet to play an official match since May, Pirates played five competitive matches in August alone.

According to Khumalo, Relebohile Mofokeng and match-winner Thalente Mbatha proved to be the difference on the day for Bafana.

Kaizer Chiefs legend heaps praise on Pirates duo

“We have players we can introduce like Mokwana and Mofokeng, that changed the complexion of the game,” the Kaizer Chiefs legend said on SABC1 as quoted by IDiski Times.

“That’s how the game is supposed to be, the bench is supposed to win games for you. I thought also Mofokeng on the left hand side, it paid dividends because Mofokeng is like an outright winger.

“But again credit to Mbatha because it seems like he’s our match winner. It raises the question, do we now have to rely on Orlando Pirates players because they played more competitive games?”
