South African winger Thapelo Maseko scores maiden Copenhagen goal in emphatic win over OB Odense

South Africa international Thapelo Maseko marked a memorable day in Denmark after scoring his first goal for FC Copenhagen in their emphatic 5-0 victory over OB Odense.

The Bafana Bafana winger capped an impressive individual display by finding the back of the net as Copenhagen cruised to a comfortable win, underlining their attacking dominance from the opening stages of the encounter.

Maseko produced a moment of individual brilliance for his maiden goal, beating his opponent on the right side before cutting inside and curling a superb effort beyond the reach of the OB Odense goalkeeper.

The goal will come as a major boost for the 22-year-old, who has been working to establish himself at the Danish club since making the move to Copenhagen.

Maseko’s performance also comes at an important time as he remains part of Pitso Mosimane’s provisional squad for Bafana Bafana’s camp this month.

The South African winger will be hoping his latest display strengthens his case for a place in Mosimane’s final squad, with the national team coach expected to assess players based on their current club form.

His maiden Copenhagen goal is likely to further enhance his confidence ahead of the international break, particularly as he continues to compete for a regular place in the national team.

With Maseko finding his scoring touch and Copenhagen producing a five-star performance against OB Odense, the South African will be eager to build on this milestone and carry his club form into the Bafana Bafana camp.
