Plays first half
Mofokeng registered one tackle (zero won) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Canada.
Analysis: Mofokeng played only the first half on Sunday and had a limited impact, creating one chance and registering just a single touch inside the opposition box during his 45 minutes on the field. His struggles were consistent throughout the World Cup, as he made two starts across three appearances and finished the tournament with only three shots and five chances created in 125 total minutes, marking a subpar campaign for the young midfielder.
Creates four chances
Mofokeng registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 1-0 victory versus South Korea.
Analysis: Mofokeng was South Africa's most creative player in Wednesday's 1-0 win over South Korea, registering two shots, one cross, four chances created and one corner across his 80 minutes as an attacking midfielder who consistently found pockets of space and created the opportunities that South Africa's clinical finishing ultimately converted into the winning goal. The midfielder completed 19 passes and contributed to South Africa's sustained threat throughout a match where his ability to combine with Thapelo Maseko and drive at the South Korean backline was central to his side's dominance despite playing against a side with 68 percent of possession. His creativity, directness and ability to produce chances from central areas make him one of South Africa's most important attacking players heading into the round of 32 against Canada, where his performances in the group stage have established him as the most exciting young talent of Bafana Bafana's historic run.
