Former Orlando Pirates head of development Augusto Palacios has heaped praise on youngster Azola Tshobeni after he made his DStv Premiership debut against Maritzburg United on Saturday.
Tshobeni, who was promoted to the senior team from the DStv Diski Challenge team together with Thabiso Sesane at the start of the season, made his first official appearance in the black and white colours as Bucs beat United 1-0 at Harry Gwala Stadium.
The 18-year-old midfielder showed class and held his own against the Team of Choice, and was unlucky to lose the man-of-the-match award to Thabang Monare, who also had a splendid game.
