WATCH: Khanyisa Mayo scores to help CR Belouizdad go top of Algerian Ligue 1 standings, but picks up injury and club issues update on Bafana Bafana forward

Khanyisa Mayo was in action as his team CR Belouizdad beat Khenchela FC on Wednesday to go top of the Ligue 1 table.

The former Cape Town City attacker scored to help his team to a 3-0 win.

It was his fifth goal in 23 games for the North African outfit, however, he was injured in the process.

Have a look at Mayo's beautiful strike.

"The medical staff are checking on the injury sustained by the South African striker Mayo during our team's match tonight against Khenchela Union, where the initial examination revealed that the player has suffered a minor ankle injury and will be back to the training atmosphere as soon as possible," a club statement read.

Belouizdad coach Sead Ramovic has lauded Mayo for his effort and discipline. It might be a message to Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos to consider the striker in the forthcoming international assignments.

“He’s a fantastic player with so much quality. Technically very good, skillful, and always looking to improve,” he said as quoted by iDiski Times.

“What stands out the most is his attitude — he wants to work hard, stays humble, and is always willing to learn.

“He plays with intelligence and composure, making often the right decisions at the right moments. With that mindset and ability, he has a bright future ahead," Ramovic concluded.

Mayo is expected to be out for about two weeks before getting back in action.

He needs to work on his consistency, especially in front of the goal, to convince Broos he can be the main man in attack.
