Bafana coach Hugo Broos said it was a decision to choose between Mabasa and Rayners and he opted for the latter.

Mabasa won the top goalscorer award after netting 16 league matches for Pirates, one more than Iqraam Rayners who scored 15 goals. “We had a bad experience with Mabasa two years ago. I had to change him after 35 minutes and everybody said it was a scandal,” said Broos.“For me, I don’t think I have to take him now because I also have Iqraam. Iqraam also scored 15 goals, it’s one goal difference so I give the confidence to Iqraam right now.”
