Concacaf Leagues Cup 2025 Overview

The Bafana Bafana defender has been heavily linked with a move to the reigning African champions as the transfer window enters its final stages. Following the Brazilians’ victory at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night, the Portuguese mentor weighed in on the speculation surrounding the potential move.

Abafana Bes'thende tactician has issued a glowing endorsement of his squad’s international credentials, insisting that several of his players are ready to make the step up to the national team. While only one Arrows star made the cut for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the tactician believes it is only a matter of time before more of his charges catch the eye of national team boss Pitso Mosimane.

The return of the two South African stars is proof of the PSL's levels of professionalism, quality and appeal, and is not a sign of failure argues columnist Lerato Mkhondo.

The Brazilians continued their winning streak in their midweek Betway Premiership encounter against the Bloemfontein outfit, with Miguel Cardoso’s side eventually securing maximum points after a slow start. The Tshwane giants had to remain patient as they looked for a way through, but they ultimately found their rhythm and did enough to claim another valuable three points.
