Wearing the number 12 shirt, Miya dazzled with her blistering pace, fearless dribbling, and deadly finishing, earning her the title of Attacker of the Tournament.
According to scout Scelo Zuma, Miya’s fearless approach and electric attacking style bring to mind none other than Khama Billiat.
“She’s incredibly skillful, absolutely ruthless in 1v1 situations, and has a lethal change of pace. She can drift wide or pop up centrally, and her ability to score from range makes her a nightmare for defenders,” Zuma observed.
What makes Miya stand out isn’t just her technical ability, but her hunger to get involved all over the pitch. She doesn’t wait for the ball to come to her — she drops deep, combines with teammates, and drives her team forward with purpose.
“She works extremely hard, she’s got that X-factor, and she knows how to turn a game on its head,” added Zuma.
Miya’s performances were nothing short of breathtaking, and her attitude on the pitch showed a maturity beyond her years. Inspired by Billiat, she’s developing a style that mixes flair with fierce determination, a combination that’s sure to catch the eyes of top clubs.
South Africa’s women’s game is crying out for new heroes, and with performances like these, Lethukuthula Miya looks ready to answer the call.
