The individual ratings:

Ronwen Williams - 6/10

The Bafana captain endured a difficult evening and was unable to keep a clean sheet. He stood little chance of saving the penalty, but will be disappointed with how Kenya scored their second goal, as there was an opportunity to do better.

Thabang Matuludi - 5.5/10

Showed good attacking intent and contributed positively defensively, but his final deliveries lacked the necessary precision. His handball inside the penalty area proved costly, allowing Kenya to get back into the game before half-time.

Ime Okon - 5.5/10

Had a reasonable first half but experienced more difficulties after the restart. He needed to show greater strength when dealing with Ryan Ogam in the build-up to Kenya's late equaliser and could have done more to prevent the goal.

Olwethu Makhanya - 6/10

The Rangers defender put in another encouraging shift, showing composure and strength in aerial challenges. However, his partnership with Okon lacked the communication required in the closing stages, particularly when Kenya scored their second goal.

Aubrey Modiba - 6/10

Was willing to push forward and offered an attacking outlet down the flank. He also remained reliable when Bafana needed defensive cover, although his crossing and final deliveries could have been better.

Sphephelo Sithole - 5.5/10

Enjoyed plenty of possession alongside Teboho Mokoena as Bafana controlled large spells of the match. However, he was not particularly influential in either breaking up Kenya's attacks or driving the team forward.

Teboho Mokoena - 6.7/10

The Sundowns midfielder had a relatively subdued outing compared to his usual standards. Although he was involved in Bafana's build-up play, he struggled to make a meaningful impact in the final third and rarely threatened Kenya's goal.

Relebohile Mofokeng - 8.5/10

Bafana's standout performer by some distance. The attacker was a constant threat with his movement, creativity and ability to take on defenders. His pressing contributed to the opening goal before he produced an excellent finish to put Bafana ahead again. He was also unfortunate not to score twice after seeing his second-half effort come back off the post.

Oswin Appollis - 7/10

The winger provided plenty of energy and attacking inspiration, using his pace to stretch the Kenyan defence. He created promising opportunities for his teammates and played an important role in Bafana's attacking play before being replaced by Tashreeq Matthews late in the match.

Iqraam Rayners - 5.9/10

The striker had opportunities to make a bigger contribution but lacked the clinical finishing required to punish Kenya. Had he converted his chances before the interval, Bafana could have established a more comfortable advantage. He was replaced by Lyle Foster after the hour mark.

Tshepang Moremi - 5.6/10

Struggled to make his presence felt and failed to produce the attacking influence expected of him. His performance was cut short when Mosimane introduced Puso Dithejane in the 57th minute.

Lyle Foster - 5.5/10

Brought a different dimension to Bafana's attack after coming off the bench. His physical presence and movement gave Kenya's defenders more to think about, while his well-weighted pass set up Mofokeng for Bafana's second goal.

Puso Dithejane - 6/10

Worked hard after replacing Moremi but struggled to make a decisive contribution in the final third. Although he showed good energy, he was unable to find the spaces needed to influence the outcome.

Tashreeq Matthews, Bathusi Aubaas and Cassius Mailula

All three players were introduced too late in the match to receive individual ratings.
