Fans took to Twitter to express their views on the entertaining match which produced five goals

South Africa held their nerve and plugged away as they came from behind to claim a 3-2 victory over Uganda in an international friendly match on Thursday evening.

Brace-hero Evidence Makgopa, 21, and Bongokuhle Hlongwane, 20, both scored as a youthful Bafana Bafana side edged out the Cranes at the 2010 Fifa World Cup training venue, Orlando Stadium.

Uganda, who were missing key players such as Joseph Ochaya, Khalid Aucho, Farouk Miya and Kizito Luwagga, scored through Ibrahim Orit and Abdu Lumala in an entertaining encounter.

In a general view to that game I see Mubiru isn’t feet to be the cranes coach he is rigid on one game plan he can’t change his plan as the game is advancing

As Bafana Bafana, we want to play France now 🥺🥺

Do you think Abdalla Mubiru can manage the Uganda Cranes??
— The Romantic Mukiga (@emeka_ug) June 10, 2021

Nice Friendly. Maybe Mubiru needs time. He needs to learn from mistakes in every game. We need to learn how to defend.
We want to play posession football yet we dont have ball players.
All league clubs shd adopt the national team philosophy if it’s to succeed. https://t.co/SRioyEF23U

Evidence makgopa is better than cr7 nd bruno Fernandez combined
— Pontsho Mjava (@mjava_pontsho) June 10, 2021

I think Coach Mubiru is still lacking in plan B, He failed to match the changes made by the South African coach in the second half half which makes him still wanting for the National team duty
— Michael of Uganda🇺🇬 (@MUBIRUMIKE1) June 10, 2021

So Evidence Makgopa scores 2 goals & suddenly he’s the next Benni McCarthy?!?
Dude couldn’t even score 8 PSL goals!
Haai, Bafana Bafana football fans!😅🤣 pic.twitter.com/bxN1Kts9JS

Decent game we may have lost but two away goals is a positive to pick and base on to build our team. Applause to Abdul Mubiru 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

SA needed a NEW coach for Bafana Bafana – we have THAT coach in Helmen Mkhelele. Hugo can just assist.
End of story.

Uganda cranes has improved in some departments despite a 3-2 loss to south africa. I hope coach Abdullah Mubiru will come back stronger. @MosesMagogo
