Christiansen oversaw a 1-1 draw with South Africa in their first encounter at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Friday and a 2-1 win at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Tuesday.
Both Panama and Bafana are preparing for the upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup finals in the United States, Mexico and Canada that kicks off in June.
Bafana have been drawn in Group A, alongside Mexico, South Korea and the Czech Republic, while Panama will face England, Croatia and Ghana in Group L.
Reflecting on the recent games, Christiansen lauded Mofokeng as well as Burnley striker Lyle Foster and Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
"Mofokeng is a very good player; he can make the difference. He is fast, technically strong, and possesses the vision to deliver key passes—a vital player for the future," said the Panama boss.
"You also have Lyle Foster's experience and goal-scoring threat upfront, complemented by midfielders who cover immense ground.
"With a top-tier goalkeeper like Ronwen Williams and full-backs who are technically gifted in transition, South Africa has a very balanced squad."
