Knockout Cup news

The 36-year-old wants the league's young stars to focus on their football and urges them to bring in their family to assist with all the off-field decision-making.

The 66-year-old is no longer with the Citizens following a short stint with the KwaZulu-Natal club. He was working with Gavin Hunt in a technical team set up of big names amid expectations of helping the newly promoted team challenge seasoned campaigners like Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Although he was heavily linked with Amakhosi, the former Mamelodi Sundowns star ended up signing for Buccaneers. The Bafana midfielder has gone on to stamp authority in Bucs' first team despite the competition for starting berths in the team.

The 32-year-old has missed just two of the 11 matches Amakhosi have played so far this season. But he appears to be struggling to make a big impact with no goals to his name and just one assist. That has left his former coach during his time in development football saying the Soweto giants are deploying him incorrectly.

The young defender's wonder strike ultimately proved to be the winner in a hard-fought 1-0 victory for the Buccaneers and is the type of goal you can watch again and again and again.

The 26-year-old had a good game, but his antics of not listening to the coach's substitution instructions cancelled that. Amakhosi went on to lose the penalty shootout as their campaign in the domestic competition ended dramatically.

The Glamour Boys are getting it rough in Mzansi where they have gone five domestic games without a win.

The 26-year-old's heroics in regulation and extra time were watered down with his disobedience in front of thousands in the stadium.

In the aftermath of their cup exit after a penalty shootout, the Brazilian's boss defended the players who 'fought a lot' to try and get a winning result.

After a brilliant start to the season, which saw Amakhosi win four of their first five Premier Soccer League matches, it appears things are now taking a turn for the worse at Naturena. Chiefs started the current campaign on a high note, with some even dreaming of a potential title charge, but that now looks like a tall order for Amakhosi.

Amakhosi are out of the Carling Knockout following a first-round loss to the Cape Winelands outfit. After a 0-0 draw, penalties were needed to decide the team that goes through to the quarter-finals and the Soweto giants lost 5-4.

It is now down to eight teams in the Beer Cup after heavyweights like Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns found themselves among the eight sides eliminated. Now, interesting quarter-final matchups have been confirmed as the defending champions are still in vying to reclaim this trophy.

Dikwena tsa Meetse got their bid to reclaim the Beer Cup off in thrilling fashion while the Natal Rich Boyz went on a rampage against the Chilli Boys.

The Rwanda international was struggling for game time this season, even after some impressive showings between the sticks for the Wasps in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, especially against Nigeria. But on Sunday he got his chance at club level to prove to the coaches that he deserves to be the first-choice goalkeeper.

After a tightly fought encounter within regulation time, Amakhosi and the Maroons proceeded to extra time after failing to score. This was yet another dramatic game where the winner had to be decided from the spot kick after a goalless draw, just like the Mamelodi Sundowns and Marumo Gallants duel on Saturday.

Broos' decision to overlook players from the Soweto giants raised eyebrows given that Amakhosi look like a much more improved side than they were last season. Although they do not have players in the national team, Makhosi have been told to support Bafana wholeheartedly.

The Portuguese star was sent off in the 85th minute for a rough challenge on his opponent, handing Marumo Gallants a numerical advantage in a tightly contested and dramatic encounter. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa eventually prevailed as Downs were hit with another season setback.
