Anas netted a brace for South African Premier Division side, Free State Stars in their 2-2 draw with Ajax Cape Town on Friday, March 17.

After the game, the 29-year-old was given the Man of the Match award.

It was during his post-match interview that something awry happened.

Speaking on his Man of the Match award, Anas thanked both his wife and girlfriend for their support.

"I appreciate my fans, my wife and my girlfriend,” he said.

He immediately realised his mistake and said; "I mean my wife! Sorry to say, I'm so sorry, my wife.

"I love you so much. I love you so much from my heart."

As expected, he became a trending item on Twitter on Saturday morning.

Anas just joined Free State Stars in the January transfer window from Mbabane Swallows in Swaziland.

With the signing, he returned to South Africa where he played for Maritzburg United before he was released in 2016 after an unsuccessful spell.

Free State Stars are currently 13th in the South African Premier Division table.
