Cape Town City striker Fagrie Lakay has admitted that his "dream" is to earn a spot for himself at next years' postponed Olympics, following a good performance against Saudi Arabia.
The Mzansi under-23 coach David Notoane lauded Lakay for his performance in the 3-2 loss to Saudi Arabia on Friday, where the 23-year-old scored a goal and created the other.
"It feels great to be back in the national setup, I must be honest," Lakay said. "There are a whole lot of players who would love to be here and I am truly grateful for this opportunity. I would like to thank coach David Notoane for giving the platform to showcase what I can offer to the team moving forward.

"I have been in both the Under-17 and Under-20 setups, however, never got the opportunity to represent my nation at a major tournament because of injuries. I just want to continue working really hard and hopefully earn my place in the final Olympic squad. That is my dream."
South Africa takes on the hosts again in their second friendly meeting today (17 November) at King Abdulaziz Sport City Stadium in Jeddah.

"Saudi Arabia are a good side," Lakay said. "They play a similar type of football as we do and so we are expecting a good fight from them in our second friendly meeting.
We truly believe that we should have won our first friendly clash, however, that result is now all in the past. The lads are now highly motivated to push for a win this time around. We do not want to leave here without a win."
