The 24-year-old, who is on loan from Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion, will be hoping that his cameo appearance did enough to guarantee him a starting berth in his side’s clash with Beerschot-Wilrijk on Friday night.

Lyle Foster
The Orlando Pirates teenager is currently on trial with Ligue 1 giants Monaco and should he impress, come 3 September when he turns 18, South Africa could have another star plying his trade in the French top-flight division alongside the likes of global superstars like Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Radamel Falcao.

#PetiteInfo : l’attaquant sud-africain Lyle Foster (2000) est actuellement à l’essai à l’AS Monaco. Pas encore majeur (18 ans le 3 septembre), il est déjà international A avec l’Afrique du Sud et a déjà marqué en D1 avec son club (Orlando Pirates). Très apprécié par Emenalo. pic.twitter.com/Nffx80A4Hq

Bongani Zungu and Keagan Dolly
This game was supposed to pit former Sundowns teammates Zungu and Dolly against each other, but instead turned out to be a Ligue 1 clash minus the two Bafana internationals as Montpellier ran out 2-1 victors.
Dolly was an unused substitute on the bench, while Zungu is yet to feature for Amiens in the 2018-19 campaign.
