Refiloe Jane was crowned Woman of the Match following her brilliant performance during Banyana Banyana’s 3-1 victory against Burundi on Thursday night.
Jane commands the midfield for both AC Milan in Italy and South Africa’s women’s national team. The victory has secured Banyana a place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations being held in Morocco.
Banyana will face Botswana on Sunday in their final Group C match.
The women’s national team started the tournament on a high when they beat Nigeria 2-1 on Monday evening.
