Despite conceding first, the Natal Rich Boy remained determined, fought on, and in the end won the showdown. After the hard-fought victory, they will now wait to learn who their next opponent will be once the other games are played.
The veteran midfielder was a rock for the Buccaneers last season, owing to his displays across all competitions. However, he has been out injured, which has prevented him from making any appearance across all competitions. The Soweto giants have now shared the latest on the 35-year-old.
The Belgian tactician is concerned that the Sea Robbers' winger has not been at his best since the reported move abroad did not materialise. The 73-year-old is concerned with the well-being of the player who is regarded as the future of South African football, alongside other cropping youngsters.
The Western Cape outfit came out guns blazing in their league encounter, treating fans to an exciting contest packed with goals at Athlone Stadium against a resilient Arrows side that refused to back down until the final whistle. Despite their uneven form in the PSL, Stellies looked rejuvenated — and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to suggest that their recent CAF Club of the Year nomination provided the extra spark needed to clinch their second league win of the campaign.
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.
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.
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.
The winger has lauded his captain for the performance he put in to help the Sea Robbers get their quarter final ticket in the annual domestic competition.
Masandawana have suffered yet another setback in the season after Bahlabane Ba Ntwa progressed at their expense in the Carling Knockout Cup. Unable to score within regulation time, the Tshwane giants were pushed all the way to extra time and a penalty shootout, where their opponents prevailed.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa managed to keep the PSL heavyweights at bay for 120 minutes, forcing the match winner to be decided from the spot kicks. Generally, the game summed up Sundowns' struggle so far this term: disjointed and unable to create enough chances and even score from the few they get; a team that pales in comparison to what they were in previous seasons.
The Soweto giants are in the Western Cape to face the Maroons as they enter into a competition that could give them their first trophy of the season. The two teams clash at Cape Town Stadium on Sunday and this will be a battle between teams that have been struggling for good form recently.
