This was exclusively revealed to SABC Sport by RC Genk scout in this tournament, Bernard Yao Kumordzi.

The former RC Genk midfielder has identified Cape Town City’s leading striker Jody Ah-Shene and Stellenbosch FC rock solid defender Tylon Smith, as two of the players that have impressed him at Amajita.

"Of course, I've seen a couple of players that I think have a level. A player like Jody, for me he has not scored a lot of goals, but he's a player that has shown a lot of quality,” Yao Kumordzi said.

“He's quick, the intensity is there, the runs that he makes. Even though sometimes he does not receive the ball, I can see those runs, and also Tylon Smith has been amazing in this tournament.

“For me, he's one of the best defenders that I've seen in the tournament so far. So, of course, South Africa is doing well and I like that."

Yao Kumordzi was also part of the CAF Technical Study Group (TSG) press conference this past Sunday, which reviewed the AFCON U20 tournament so far, and he’s highly impressed with Amajita’s technical and tactical ability on and off the ball.

"Of course, for me the South African team has been amazing. I've seen two games of South Africa and I'm really impressed because even though the players play in South Africa, you can see the intensity,” he added.

“You can see the understanding of the game, the way they pass the ball, the speed of the pass, and the technical ability of South African players is really amazing. For me, until now, I think it's the most technical team I've seen in the tournament."

Amajita have qualified for the FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile later this year, after beating the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) 1-0 in the AFCON quarterfinal last night.
