The Newcastle defender started for the Leopards in the friendly in Rabat, Morocco, where Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe and Yeni N'Gbakoto of Queens Park Rangers were on target.
Mbemba set up the second goal and also wore the captain's armband in the second half after skipper Gabriel Zakuani was substituted.
