BAFANA Bafana player Steven Pienaar's daughter is turning one today.

Danielle Steeneveld, Pienaar's girlfriend and mother of his daughter Skyla, last night encouraged him to play his best for theirlittle girl.

"I wish Steven and the Bafana team everything of the best for tonight," she said.

"Score for Skyla baby."

Baby Skyla was born a year ago and, while every South African is rooting for her father to do well tonight, the question on everyone's lips is whether her daddy will score tonight in honour of his baby girl.

Bafana Bafana play the mighty Brazilian team in the semifinal match of the Confederations Cup at 8.30pm tonight.

When Sowetan phoned the family yesterday, Pienaar was hard at work training for the match and was not available forcomment.
