The Premier Soccer League (PSL) announced that SuperSport United midfielder Teboho Mokoena has earned the Absa Premiership Goal of the Month for February.
The 22-year-old has now made it two in a row, having won the same award in January 2019.
Since the inception of the monthly individual award two seasons ago, Mokoena is the first player to have won it back to back.
Mokoena, who is part of the SA U23 and Bafana Bafana set-up, scored a stunning long-range drive towards the dying minutes of their Absa Premiership match against Lamontville Golden Arrows. It was a fitting winning goal in his club’s 3-2 away win, much to his teammates’ delight on the day.
Mokoena’s goal topped the shortlist of 10 great goals with the most votes after football supporters and the public picked their favourite for February via the Premier Soccer League (PSL) website. Mokoena’s goal was nominated among other great strikes by Kermit Erasmus (whose goal came second in votes behind Mokoena), Anthony Laffor, Gift Links, Matome Mabeba, Thato Madigoe, Ben Motshwari, Walter Musona, Tapelo Nyongo and Harris Tchilimbou.
