Makola curled in a superb effort from 20 metres out to give Shakes Mashaba’s men a confidence-booster following their embarrassing 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeat in Mauritania on Saturday.
Mashaba made seven changes from the debacle in Nouakchott, with Siya Nhlapho, Bongani Zungu, Sibusiso Vilakazi, Mzikayise Mashaba, Clayton Daniels, Makola and Daylon Claasen all coming into the starting line-up.
Makola impressed in central midfield from the off, hitting three long-range efforts in the first half, albeit that none of them were on target.
Senegal’s side featured star names like Southampton’s Sadio Mane and West Ham United’s Diafra Sakho. And it was Sakho who had the Teranga Lions’ best opportunity of the first half, his free kick drawing a fine save from Itumeleng Khune.
