Esperance started their Club World Cup campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss against Flamengo on Tuesday morning.
Bafana Bafana international Elias Mokwana was introduced after the break to try and help the Red and Yellow get something from the game, but things didn't work out as planned. Esperance are now at the bottom of Group D alongside Los Angeles, who fell by the same margin against Chelsea.
Have a look at what the fans in Mzansi said after the game.
Esperance don't know why they are at Club World Cup
Elias Mokwana made a very good career move. Look at him now running at those Brazilians. Pity his team is weak – Thapelo Bosiu
Esperance travelled all the way to America to park a bus. That was a very boring game – Kganki Dwane
Esperance is just doing well in Africa only. Today they were playing like they didn't know why they are at the Club World Cup – Masenyeletja
I honestly expected this performance; at the international stage, these North African teams won't get the opportunity to bully their opponents using the fans and doing all the dirty tricks. They are there to add numbers – Simlindile Sim
They gave Flamengo too much respect. Can you win a game while you're playing a low block and expect to kill them with a counterattack? – ULindor Icala Lengezo Mzilikazi
Mokwena is learning a lot in North Africa
Esperance didn't play as a team; they were too slow on the ball. Al Alhy played better against Inter Miami. They didn't even supply Mokwana with the ball – Cale Vanel
Elias Mokwana is a good player and is learning a lot in North Africa – Sibongiseni Zimu
This Club World Cup tournament is big, African teams won't survive, but we are proud of Mokwana – Fhatuwani Donaldson Mutshegwe
Five Brazilian players are in the national team, and four other foreign players play for Argentina, Italy, Uruguay, and Chile. It means Al-Taraji is playing against a national team. Accept the best – Sleh Mejri
Flamengo players are so quick, they'll finish this competition around the semi-final, if not, the quarter-final will do – Kim
