Khahliso holds his own

Khahliso Malape - deep in concentration.

On 17 March 2018, at the Old Edwardian Society, Khahliso Malape proudly donned his Protea kit to take on the might of Ghana in the FIFA '18 esports title.

South Africa has not had a  good record against  Ghana in the previous test match which was played on 6 February 2016 which Ghana won 5-1.

However, Khahliso was determined to make amends.

After having made his  debut against Namibia in 2017, Khahliso has put in a great deal of training and effort.

It showed!

Khahliso immediately went on the attack, and with lightning speed, scored the first goal.  Nevertheless, Frank Kpakpo (Ghana) retaliated, and in swift succession scored two goals against Khahliso.

At one two goals to one, Khahliso dug deep and rebounded to score an equalizer in the dying moments of the game to leave the game as a draw.

The result shows Khahliso to be a much improved athlete and is developing as a truly international competitor.
