Mzansi had three clubs flying the country’s flag in continental competitions this weekend and they all produced contrasting results.
Orlando Pirates were the big winners in the continent’s premier club competition, beating Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
Meanwhile, 2016 winners Mamelodi Sundowns suffered a rare defeat, the first under new coach Miguel Cardoso, as they went down 1-0 to Raja Casablanca away from home in the same competition.
The last of the SA teams in continental action - Stellenbosch FC - were convincing 2-0 winners over Angolan outfit Lunda Sul in a home game played in Tshwane.
In PSL action, Nasredddine Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs continued to disappoint in a season where much was expected, losing 1-0 to Muhsin Ertugral’s Cape Town City on Sunday.
Here, GOAL looks at what transpired at the weekend locally and around the continent.
