This match would have been over for South Africa long before without 20 year old CB Mbekezeli Mbokazi. So many great moments of recovery defending where he read the game superbly. Looking forward to tracking his progress, as he gave strong shades of Nottingham Forest’s Murillo.

Canada knock South Africa OUT of the World Cup! But a new star may be born…

Mbekezeli Mbokazi… please RISE! 💪🔥

[MC @CrewsMat10]

I’ve never seen this Mbokazi guy before, but he’s putting on a defensive masterclass tonight.

And he’s just 20 years old to top it off.

[MR NKOSI⭐️⭐️ @MrNkosi072]

Mbokazi has just announced himself to the planet. 🇿🇦⭐

At only 20 years old, he played like a centre-back ready to become one of the very best. 🧱🔥

[POOJA!!! @PoojaMedia]

In the wilderness, there was a light.

This boy is good 🔥

[Artist TREVOR🇿🇦 @Trevor_sidogi]

Mbokazi is the beast 💪🏽🇿🇦🔥

[Adika @Adikastakes]

Mbokazi is a beast of a Centerback and he’s just 20 years old. He’s the best thing to come out of this South Africa’s World Cup and he needs to move to a top team Europe asap, His potential is scary!!!

[Football Talent Scout - Jacek Kulig @FTalentScout]

South Africa are going home, but Mbekezeli Mbokazi leaves the World Cup as one of its biggest individual winners.

Only 20 years old, yet he played with real authority, maturity, and presence at the heart of Bafana Bafana’s defence.

A future icon of South African football. 🇿🇦❤️

[Rising Ballers @RisingBallers_]

Mbekezeli Mbokazi is HIM. Going from South Africa to playing in the World Cup in North America and already one of the most talked about players from the tournament this summer… 🇿🇦😮‍💨

The 20-year-old is currently playing for Chicago Fire in America but despite his young age, he was South Africa’s commander at this World Cup. Despite their loss against Canada, he leaves with his head held high. 91% pass accuracy, 4 tackles, 4 clearances, 4 recoveries. Won 6 out of his 8 ground duels. Made 8 defensive contributions.

We put you onto him before and now he’s shown that to the world. Bafana bafana have one of the most exciting defenders about right now.

This rising star is ready for the bright lights. 💫
