BAFANA RATINGS

Itumeleng Khune (3) - Very little to say about him as he was literally on holiday.

Itumeleng Khune (3) - Very little to say about him as he was literally on holiday.

Siboniso Gaxa (4) - Made some exciting runs on the right flank but need to polish his crosses.

Innocent Mdledle (4) - Had a nightmarish game, with two or three inaccurate passes, but settled down as the match progressed.

Matthew Booth (5) - Wisely took advantage of his height, which helped him deal with aerial balls.

Aaron Mokoena (5) - He never put his foot wrong, and part of the back four that was never really tested.

Benson Mhlongo (6) - Had a great match. Did not play like a man who last featured for Bafana Bafana in February 2008.

Kagisho Dikgacoi (5) - Maturing like old wine, helped in keeping shape in the engine room.

Steven Pienaar (5) - Sprayed brilliant passes around. One of them resulted in Thembinkosi Fanteni scoring.

MacBeth Sibaya (6) - Did well, though there were times when he lost possession unnecessarily. Remained firm when Mhlongo and Dikgacoi joined in the attack.

Thembinkosi Fanteni (4) - Remarkable return to Bafana Bafana but seemed to run out of steam later in the game.

Bernard Parker (4) - Not the best of his games for Bafana but still did well on the day.

Katlego Mashego (3) - Tried to impress when he came on for Fanteni in the 60th minute.

Siphiwe Tshabalala (3) - Tried his best but there was not enough time left to impress after coming on for Pienaar in the 76th minute.

Elrio Van Heerden - Not enough time to be rated after coming on in the 88th minute. - Ramatsiyi Moholoa
