Bafana Bafana forward Lyle Foster praised the impact of Zakhele Lepasa and Lebogang Mothiba during the win over Democratic Republic of Congo.
Foster scored the only goal of the match, as Bafana rounded off their international fixtures with a narrow 1-0 win over DR Congo.
The Burnley forward played a different role than the one he did against Namibia, as he explained the instructions from head coach Hugo Broos.

"First and foremost I just want to give glory to the Almighty Lord, like you said it's six years ago since my professional debut, I didn't even know that, so very proud moment for me," Foster said after he received his Man of the Match award.
"So coming back to the game. The coach asked me to play lower, he asked me to drop deep. He asked me to play as a number ten to sit a bit deeper as a midfielder, it was a role that enjoyed.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity and most importantly I'm happy that we got the result. I think it was very important for us and our trajectory," he said.
The Orlando Pirates academy graduate also commended the efforts of Zakhele Lepasa and substitute Lebogang Mothiba in contributing to the win over Congo.
"I think both Lebza [Mothiba] and Zakes [Lepasa] did well up top, they held the ball well for us, made runs behind, especially Zakes, he ran his socks off for 70, 60 minutes," he continued.
"When Lebza came on he held the ball for us and he made sure we could keep the ball up the pitch where we needed keep the ball and stay dangerous.
"It's pointless keeping the ball at the back when we have the lead, it was good for us to keep the ball in their own half, just knock it. Lebz played a big part in that and I think everyone, Mlungisi [Mbunjana], it is his first camp, he did super well and all other debutants who are here," he said.
"It's a promising sign, myself as well being young, that we're doing well and very excited for the future," he concluded.
