In comments to the media following the match, Rayners attributed the goal to team work:

“Thanks to my team mates, the coaches and the supporters. It is always good to score goals. For us as a team it was all about getting the first win and now we need to focus on the next one,” he said.

The goal saw the South African champions becoming the first African club to win a match at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Masandawana dominated proceedings to beat the South Korean opposition

at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

It took the former Stellenbosch FC striker to score and separate the two teams. He was eventually named man of the match.
