Rapid Bucuresti Visão geral

Babina Noko and the Rockets became the third fixture of the weekend to end in a draw, following the Chilli Boys and the Stallions, who were also forced to settle for a point each after neither side could find the net, while Gallants shared the spoils with Rise and Shine. Meanwhile, Usuthu leapfrogged Kaizer Chiefs into third place as their Zimbabwean striker found the back of the net yet again.

The per 90 stats in football measure a player's output scaled to a full 90-minute match, allowing fair comparisons between players with different playing times and allowing us to see who are the genuine best performing players in the league this season so far. The format works by taking a player's total for any metric (eg: goals, tackles, passes, etc) and divides it by their total minutes played, then multiplies by 90 so a regular substitute who plays 15-to-20 minutes a week can be accurately compared to the impact of a starter who plays the full match every week.

Dan Malesela has launched a scathing attack on Babina Noko following their recent managerial decisions. The veteran tactician has questioned the credentials of Cedric Kaze, suggesting the Burundian’s rapid rise from translation duties to the dugout is an indictment of the local game.

The Villages Boys tactician has issued a defiant message to his squad and management following a difficult start to life in the Premier Soccer League. Despite a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Buccaneers that leaves them rock bottom on the PSL log, the coach is adamant that his side will find their feet once they have adjusted to the demands of the top flight.
