Onome Ebi (defender) and Tochukwu Oluehi (goalkeeper) have also been impressive, having barnstorming performances that ensured that the team did not concede again after the opening game's set back.
Chrestina Kgatlana who scored the goal for South Africa in the Group B opener against Nigeria also made the cut.
