As they get back to action again on Wednesday evening (18:00) against Tanzania, Sundowns teenager Kutlwano Lethlaku is already on the lips of plenty who watched him over the weekend.
Raymond Mdaka lined up his team with Fletcher Lowe-Smythe in goals, Siviwe Nkwali, Tylon Smith, Asekho Tiwani, and Thato Sibiya at the back.
Lazola Maku and Gomolemo Kekana were the two central midfielders in front of the back four, while the offensive spaces had Mfundo Vilakazi, Langelihle Phili, and Lethlaku with Jody Ah Shene as the top man.
In the 68 minutes that Lethlaku was on the field, he was already amongst the players that some scouts in the stands had taken notice of.
This website has been told that the 19-year-old will be followed with keen interest for the rest of the tournament with Amjita still guaranteed of playing at least another three matches.
Stellies winger Phili is also being tracked.
Meanwhile, Mdaka has spoken on their game against Tanzania.
"We are happy about the commitment and courage of the players and going forward we feel we can do far much better.
"It is only for us to convert the chances that we normally get.
"In the game that we will play against Tanzania, we know that every team is ready and fully prepared for the tournament.
