It has been claimed that some players could be enjoying favourable treatment under the recently elevated coaches at Naturena. Amakhosi are also said to be not ready and are still far behind Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns football-wise.

The 29-year-old was making a comeback from a fitness setback and made a huge impact on his return. He came off the bench to grab the deciding goal of the evening as Amakhosi beat their hosts, Durban City in eThekwini on Friday. That has left an Amakhosi coach applauding the Guinea-Bissau international forward.

Amakhosi travelled to Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday, 31 October, determined to claim all three points against the KwaZulu-Natal outfit. A delayed kickoff added tension to the evening, but once the whistle blew, the visitors looked to seize control and make their mark in a tightly contested league clash. Ultimately, Amakhosi snatched a late winning goal.

After grabbing a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage, Amakhosi now turn their focus to the Premier Soccer League. The Glamour Boys' run in the PSL has not been convincing in recent games, and the match against Durban City gives them a chance to try and return to winning ways.

The Soweto giants travel to KwaZulu-Natal for a date with their former coach, Gavin Hunt. Having failed to win their last four Premier Soccer League games, Amakhosi are under pressure to pick themselves up and collect maximum points on the road and stay in contention for the league title.
