Central SC Overview

The Buccaneers' head coach has spoken out regarding the arrival of Bheki Mabuza, insisting he is not simply raiding his former club for talent. The Moroccan tactician was keen to clarify the recruitment process at Mayfair while praising the technical qualities of his newest midfield reinforcement.

The Brazilians head coach pulled no punches in his assessment of the Buffalo City Stadium following a dramatic 1-1 draw against Chippa United. The Portuguese tactician watched his side salvage a point through a late Antonio van Wyk strike, but his post-match comments were dominated by the state of the playing surface.

The Chilli Boys came agonisingly close to ending their winless run, only to be denied victory by a late equaliser against the Betway Premiership log leaders at KuGompo City. The Eastern Cape outfit looked set to claim a much-needed three points in front of a packed crowd, but the visitors struck in the dying moments to snatch a share of the spoils.

The Buccaneers made amends for their early setback as they bounced back in the CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg. After both sides played out a goalless draw in the first meeting, neither team wanted a repeat on Saturday afternoon, with the goals finally flowing as the home side came out on top.
