Attacking midfielder Neo Maema today led South Africa in their opening match of the CHAN tournament against Algeria, a game that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Maema, who is expected to join Simba after the CHAN tournament concludes, was handed the captain’s armband and played for 83 minutes.
In that match, Maema had 33 touches, completed 20 passes, with 16 of them accurate.
For many fans, this was their first time watching Maema, with some starting to follow him closely after reports of his signing with Simba leaked.
However, one match is not enough to judge a player — Maema is the captain of South Africa and currently plays for Mamelodi Sundowns.
