I'm the only player who could have broken Benni's record - Mphela

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela feels he could have easily broken Benni McCarthy's record for most Bafana Bafana goals.

McCarthy scored 31 international goals for South Africa during his trophy-laden career as a player; a record which remains unbroken.

Mphela netted 23 goals before retiring and the only active player with the same number of goals as him is former Amakhosi teammate Bernard Parker.

According to Mphela, his progress at the international level was hampered by the sacking of Pitso Mosimane, whom he said understood him better.
