Goalscoring SA Teen Shines At Engen Knockout Challenge
A South Africa n teenager is making waves in the Eastern Cape following his five-star performance at the 2024 Engen Knockout Challenge on the weekend. His name is Lee Rogan De Kock, and he scores goals! Lee Rogan De Kock finished as the top goalscorer of the 2024 Engen Knockout Challenge in the Eastern Cape.Soccer Laduma caught up with former Chippa United coach Siyabulela Gwambi to talk all things Engen following this past weekend's action.
Technically, you know, as a coach, you expect a striker to do his job, so he knew his job that he's got and that is to score goals because tournament football is different to any league game; he knew that he's got to stick with the centre-backs. I think, of the seven that he's got, five were inside the box, only two were outside. When I was watching him play, I followed all his games. He's got a very good profile as a striker, and he can go somewhere.
It's very important, you know. It's a touching tournament to myself because we produce a lot of players from the region of the Eastern Cape coming out from the Engen Knockout Challenge. When the Engen tournament was incepted in 2003, it was in NMU, the very same place that we were over the weekend. It is giving the platform to the underprivileged and everybody who cannot get the opportunity to express themselves because now it's going to lengthen to rural and also to the affluent areas. If you take a look now, it's going to provincial, which is now, it's extensive. Now it's going to national, which means it's exposing a lot of players who didn't get an opportunity to reach the professional level.
