The 27-year-old scored a sensation goal during his side's 1-1 draw against SuperSport United — a powerful strike from outside of the box that shocked everyone when it found its way into the back of the net.

The point helped extend Masandawana's lengthy gap at the top of the table by 13 points. Orlando Pirates are in second on 33 points, level with The Swanky Boys.
The midfielder's celebrations, however, were tame for the electrifying nature of the goal. Speaking after the game, Mokoena highlighted how
"I have to give respect to SuperSport because I'm here because of them. I'm grateful to Mr Stan Matthews for giving me the opportunity. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. So, also, I must say thank you very much to SuperSport United for giving me the platform," he said.
Even a Kaizer Chiefs fan paid Mokoena his dues.
"Simply the best man. Love you man. From a Chiefs fan. I admire your style of play since SuperSport days man," writes @jalusimojela.
"A player who can shoot like that shouldn't be wide open," remarked @ethanreallylovesjesus.
