When the Young Zebras took on hosts South Africa, holders China and Cameroon in the Sasol Eight Nations Tournament, nobody gave them a chance of going past the group stage.

Sports Writer TSHEPO MOLWANE analyses the performance of the team in the final on a ten-point scale.

Noah Maposa- 7
A solid performance by Mochudi Centre Chiefs' custodian. He did not let the Cameroonians to intimidate him with their aerial strength. He was unfortunate to concede an easy goal after goalmouth scramble. He deserved the goalkeeper of the tournament award after conceding one goal in four matches.

Gabriel Bokhutlo- 8
What can one say about this youngster? Without doubt, he was the man of the match. He performed exceptionally well and made some important interventions. The nippy Township Rollers' defender frustrated the Cameroonian wingers with his timely tackles. He should not let fame go to his head.
