Bafana Bafana internationals, Cassius Mailula and Elias Mokwana bagged their first goals for Wydad Athletic Club and Espérance Sportive de Tunis respectively.

Tunisian giants Espérance defeated their fierce rivals, Etoile du Sahel 2-0 in an away league game, with super-sub Mokwana sealing the victory in the 88th minute, making that his first goal in seven games played for E.S Tunis.

For Cassius Mailula, he helped ease the pressure for Rulani Mokwena after scoring the only goal of the match in Wydad AC's narrow 1-0 win over FUS Rabat away from home.

Mokwana's currently find themselves in sixth position on the Tunisian Ligue 1 standings, while Mailula's solitary goal saw Wydad climb up to fourth spot in the Botola Pro 1.
