Al Ittihad Overview

Amakhosi missed the opportunity to climb the Betway Premiership table on Saturday as a series of defensive lapses resulted in a frustrating 1-1 draw against Rise and Shine. Despite dominating large portions of the encounter, the Glamour Boys were left to rue missed chances and a significant goalkeeping error that allowed the hosts back into the contest.

Amakhosi visited Rise and Shine in the league, gunning for maximum points to make it two wins in a row. However, City were stubborn, stopping the Soweto giants from moving to second on the league table.

The former Orlando Pirates full-back's move to the Tshwane giants adds serious firepower to their defensive ranks. The arrival of the 29-year-old at Chloorkop hasn’t just bolstered Masandawana’s star-studded squad, but he is also tipped to challenge for a place in the national team setup.

The Amakhosi flanker has laid out his ambitious objectives for the current campaign as he looks to cement his place in the starting line-up. After a challenging debut season at Naturena, the 23-year-old is determined to prove his worth under the watchful eye of new head coach Fernando da Cruz.
