Striker Iqraam Rayners is aiming to show his class with 'a goal or two' when Bafana Bafana take on Algeria on Tuesday evening.

South Africa will be looking to put on an improved display when they take on The Desert Eagles on Tuesday night on the back of an embarrassing 1-1 draw against ranked Andorra on Thursday.

Head coach Hugo Broos has confirmed that there will be more than a few changes to the squad that played Andorra and one of those changes could see Rayners start ahead of Mayo, who led the attacking line against Andorra.

Speaking to SAFA media ahead of the Algeria clash, the Stellenbosch striker set out his expectations for the match.

"For me, I’m happy to be here, to be given this opportunity but the coach and but the technical team.

"Obviously I’m happy to be here to show my ability.

"For me to achieve in a game like this is to score one or two goals. For me it’s just about doing my best for the team and helping the team win. That’s what matters to me.

"For Algeria it won’t be an easy game, even for us it won’t be an easy game. It’s going to be a difficult game but we need to push and work hard. Motivate each other and help each other to at least win the game."

Bafana’s match against The Desert Eagles is scheduled to kick off at 15:00.
