Thembinkosi Lorch continued with his good form in the Fifa Club World Cup despite their recent 4-1 loss against Juventus on Sunday evening.
Abdelmounaim Boutouil turned the ball into his own net to give the Italians an early lead, before Kenan Yildiz doubled the advantage. Despite Lorch's brilliant strike, the Old Lady of Turin added two more goals courtesy of Dusan Vlahovic and Yildiz, who completed his brace.
Football lovers in Mzansi have now taken to their social media accounts to laud the on-loan Mamelodi Sundowns star.
