'First ever goal, I'm happy,' Blom told St Louis FC media after the match.
The 23 year-old was also named on Saturday in Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos’ preliminary squad for next month’s friendlies against Swaziland and the Ivory Coast. And he can only have improved his chances of making the final squad for these friendlies, as well as the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Broos didn’t pick Blom in his final squad for the recent friendlies against Namibia and DR Congo, saying he was getting inconsistent game time at St Louis. He has, however, been picked regularly in the starting line-up of late by head coach Bradley Carnell, himself a former Bafana international.St Louis are currently eight points clear at the top of the Western Conference, and this was Blom’s first ever goal for the club he joined this season.
