Themba Zwane netted a brace while Mihlali Mayambela and Aubrey Modiba scored the other two goals.

This was the fifth meeting between Bafana Bafana and Sierra Leone, and an important match as South Africa had not scored against them in four previous matches.

Hugo Broos started Zwane in behind Zakhele Lepasa upfront to perhaps see what he could offer.

And after a slow start to the game, Bafana Bafana upped the ante towards the end of the first half as Zwane opened the scoring with a fine finish.

The second half looked very easy for Bafana Bafana as Sierra Leone did not even threaten goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.

Debutant Mihlali Mayambela opened his account shortly after the half-time break to give Bafana Bafana a 2-0 lead.

It was soon 3-0 to Bafana Bafana as Zwane completed his brace in fine style, dribbling past two defenders before slotting the ball past the keeper.

Aubrey Modiba then put the final nail in Sierra Leone coffin as he easily made it 4-0 in the closing stages.
