The story
Teen sensation Relebohile Mofokeng's rise in professional football has been nothing short of phenomenal, with the youngster helping the Buccaneers secure back-to-back Nedbank Cup titles.
Orlando Pirates successfully defended their Nedbank Cup crown as they defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday.
Goals came curtesy of the in-form Patrick Maswanganyi, who equalised from the spot in the 71st minute, after Themba Zwane gave Sundowns the lead early in the second half.
Mofokeng sealed matters in spectacular fashion as the teenager left Bongani Zungu for dead with a devastating move on his way toward the goal, grabbing the winner with a smart toe-poke finish.

Under intense pressure, he seized the moment and scored, winning his third professional trophy and finishing a spectacular season five goals and six assists in 38 matches.
After the match, he was embraced by Sundowns skipper, Zwane, with Mshishi showing his class despite a disappointing end to a congested but successful season for Masandawana.
Pirates and Sundowns legend, Teko Modise, who was on duty for SuperSport TV on the day, personally congratulated the young Mofokeng for his memorable performance.
Watch "Dona" give Mofokeng the ultimate sign of approval in a heart-warming interaction:
Former Orlando Pirates striker and SuperSport TV commentator/analyst Phumudzo Manenzhe followed suite with the Mofokeng love, and seemed to be sharing some words of encouragement while embracing the starlet:
