Soccer Laduma rates the performances of the Bafana Bafana players following their 0-0 draw with Cameroon on Tuesday.
Itumeleng Khune: 6.5
The goalkeeper didn't have much to do but did what was required of him.
Thulani Hlatshwayo: 6.0
The defender didn't make any defensive blunders but missed a good chance to score with his head in the 14th minute.
Sifiso Hlanti: 7.0
Hlanti looked good overall. He set up Hlatshwayo's chance and threatened with a few free kicks.
Rivaldo Coetzee: 6.5
Coetzee did a decent job in the heart of the defence. His positioning may have been better on occasion.
Erick Mathoho: 6.0
Mathoho gave away a free kick unnecessarily in the 27th minute, but didn't make any glaring errors.
Andile Jali: 7.0
Jali was full of running in midfield and distributed the ball well.
Mandla Masango: 6.0
Masango was ineffective and didn't do enough off the ball to help his fellow playmakers.
Hlompho Kekana: 6.0
Kekana had a quiet game and would have wanted to make more of an impact.
Thamsanqa Gabuza: 5.5
Gabuza struggled to time his jumps to win headers and was not a factor for Bafana.
Thulani Serero: 7.0
Serero did a fair job spreading the ball around with slick passing.
Tokelo Rantie: 6.0
Rantie showed a few good touches but failed to really threaten Cameroon.
Substitutes:
Siyabonga Nhlapo: 6.5
Nhlapo replaced Hlatshwayo at half-time and made a couple of good contributions.
Ndumiso Mabena: 6.5
Mabena came on for Rantie in the 51st minute but saw little of the ball.
Prince Nxumalo: 6.5
Nxumalo was brought on for Gabuza and had one good chance to score just before the end.
