Gazelle Overview

GOAL brings you all the available details on the continental qualifying clash between the Buccaneers and the Waves at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto. The Bucs are still firm favourites to beat the Mauritius Super League title holders despite being held to a 0-0 draw in the away leg in Mauritius.

Bucs coach has hailed the unique creative qualities of the talented midfielder, drawing a lofty comparison to Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane. As the Buccaneers prepare for their crucial CAF Champions League encounter, the French-Moroccan tactician believes the returning midfielder possesses the rare vision required to unlock the continent's most stubborn defensive lines.

The highly-rated coach has given the much-needed update on when the Bafana Bafana winger is likely to make his first appearance for the Soweto giants in the 2026/27 season. The 21-year-old is on a season-long loan with Bucs after a challenging spell in Saudi Arabia.

The Soweto giants face a high-stakes battle to keep their continental dreams alive after a resilient La Cure Waves side touched down in South Africa with a clear message of intent. The Mauritian minnows proved they are no pushovers during a gritty first-leg stalemate, leaving the Buccaneers with plenty of work to do in front of their home crowd.
