Castellon Overview

The Buccaneers tactician has spoken candidly about his strained relationship with outgoing midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi. The Soweto giants’ boss suggested that the player's lack of discipline and coachability ultimately cost him a place in the South Africa squad for the recent FIFA World Cup.

Babina Noko second-in-command Paulus Masehe believes his side still have a card to play after two consecutive defeats against the Buccaneers. Both teams are set to face off against each other in the MTN 8 semi-finals second leg on Saturday, with the coach eying a possible upset at Orlando Amstel Arena to reach the final.

The Buccaneers tactician has hailed the impact of the new signing, suggesting the midfielder is destined to become a cornerstone of his tactical system. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a seamless transition to the Soweto giants since his arrival late in the transfer window.

Babina Noko assistant coach Paulus Masehe has jumped to the defence of his head coach following his late dismissal during the club's PSL clash with the Buccaneers. The encounter ended in a 2-0 defeat, but it was the late drama on the touchline that dominates the post-match talking points.
