Mamelodi Sundowns forward Lucas Ribeiro Costa beats Kaizer Chiefs starlet Mfundo Vilakazi to top PSL award as Orlando Pirates slayer Muhsin Ertugral & Sekhukhune United's Andy Boyeli scoop accolades

Cape Town City coach Muhsin Ertugral was nominated for the Coach of the Month Award after his success in January.

Others who were considered for their exploits are Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Lucas Ribeiro.

Sekhukhune United attacker Andy Boyeli also made the list.

"Sekhukhune United FC striker, Andy Boyeli, who found the back of the net four times in January with a goal against AmaZulu FC, as well as a stunning hat-trick against SuperSport United FC saw him deservedly walk away with the Player of the Month award," PSL said in a statement.

"Ertugral’s three victories out of four, including two successive triumphs over Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates saw him emerge number one ahead of strong contenders from Sekhukhune United FC coach, Lehlohonolo Seema as well as Phuti Mohafe of Polokwane City FC," the organisers justified their selection.

"The Goal of the Month award went to Mamelodi Sundowns FC midfielder, Lucas Ribeiro Costa for his acrobatic strike against Magesi FC in Polokwane.

"Ribeiro’s goal edged equally intense competition from Mfundo Vilakazi’s solo strike in Kaizer Chiefs’ victory over Sekhukhune United, as well as Devin Titus’ clinical finish for Stellenbosch FC in their win over AmaZulu FC," PSL concluded.

Ertugral is aiming to help the Rockets finish inside the top eight by the end of the season.

However, Sekhukhune's main aim is to finish in the Caf competition's position.

Lucas Ribeiro is leading the race for the Golden Boot having scored seven goals, as Sundowns push for the PSL title.
