Bafana Bafana legend Delron Buckley believes there is more come from striker Lyle Foster as the 24-year-old ended his national team goal drought in the 2-0 win over Benin on Tuesday.
Hugo Broos' men charges held on to their spot at the top of Group C after six matches with a 2-0 victory over Benin on match-day six of the African World Cup qualifiers.

Jayden Adams was the other goal scorer in a match played in neutral Ivory Coast.
For Burnley FC man Foster, the goal was a first since June 2024 when he scored in a 5-0 thrashing of Congo-Brazzaville.
Speaking on SABC Sport, Buckley was delighted to see the striker back among the goals.
"This is why I said it would be good for him to score," said the former Borussia Dortmund winger.
"One thing you must note very carefully, when Lyle Foster makes his run, he runs in front of the defender. If he had run straight, I don't think he would have scored that.
"He gets in front and he attacks that first post and when the ball was played, it was easier for him to tap it.

"That actually helps him to score there because - I will mention it a thousand times - if he kept on running straight there, he was not going to get it.
