WATCH THE CLIP

Hlongwane has now scored three goals in the nine MLS games he has played for Minnesota United in the ongoing season. The recent strike comes after Bafana Bafana coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/lyle-foster-back-in-bafana-bafana-squad-as-hugo-broos-names-preliminary-squad-for-2026-fifa-world-cup-qualifiers-against-nigeria-zimbabwe/blta7eed72df98aa211" target="_blank">named his provisional squad</a> for the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifier between South Africa and Nigeria scheduled for June 7. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/lyle-foster-showed-us-middle-finger-now-burnley-is-relegated-and-he-wants-to-play-for-bafana-why-is-deadly-mabasa-out-question-broos-fans/bltcd0e0bae421e868d" target="_blank">There were questions raised</a> over the inclusion of Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa who recently returned from an injury and Lyle Foster of Burnley who controversially missed the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Hlongwane should continue working harder and get goals regularly for his Minnesota side which will increase his chances of featuring for Bafana in forthcoming matches.
