FK Dubocica Overview

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.

The Chilli Boys tactician has expressed cautious optimism ahead of his side’s daunting league fixture against the Brazilians. While the KuGompo City-based side have proven difficult to beat in recent weeks, the coach is fully aware that his side must sharpen their edge in front of goal to stand a chance against the continental giants.

The Brazilians' head coach has lauded the immediate impact of the 22-year-old following his impressive start to life at the Pretoria club, with both the coach and the player identifying the former Golden Arrows boss as laying down the blueprint for the player's tactical flexibility and technical quality.

With the PSL embracing football data providers, the information available to clubs around the world has seen a massive spike in interest in South African players. And with SkillCorner now reporting that the local league is closing in on the top 10 ranking in the world for physicality, and the top three for explosiveness, expect many more global clubs, especially from Major League Soccer, to start shopping for players in Mzansi.
