Bafana Bafana have won their first piece of silverware in their new era by winning the 2021 Cosafa Cup in Gqeberha.
Bafana beat Senegal 5-4 on penalties to win the tournament after the final at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium ended in a goalless stalemate after the added extra time.
Bafana won the title when the Senegalese defensive midfielder, Alfred N'Diaye, failed to convert from the spot.
In addition to winning the title, Bafana took home all the tournament awards on offer.
The Bloemfontein Celtic striker, Victor Letsoalo, who made his debut for the national side halfway through the tournament, was named as the Golden Boot winner.
Siyethemba Sithebe picked up a Man of the Match award in the final and walked away with the Player of the Tournament accolade.
The captain Veli Mothwa was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament.
In the 3rd & 4th place play-off, Mthunzi Mkhontfo scored an 89th minute equaliser to force a 1-1 draw with Mozambique.
