The Glamour Boys co-coach has heaped praise on the 21-year-old forward after the academy graduate finally ended his goal drought in Saturday’s league clash at Moses Mabhida Stadium. Kaze believes the striker’s return to form could spark a strong finish to the season as the race for the top three intensifies.

The Amakhosi co-coach is adamant that his team is on an upward trajectory following their clinical 2-0 victory over Magesi FC on Saturday night. Goals from youngsters Wandile Duba and Mfundo Vilakazi ensured the Soweto giants secured back-to-back wins, moving them up to fourth in the Premier Soccer League standings. Despite the positive result, Kaze insists there is still plenty of room for improvement as the club chases a top-three finish.

In recent weeks, Amakhosi were under immense pressure following elimination from two competitions and a four-match losing run. Bowing out of the CAF Confederation Cup and the Nedbank Cup, plus Premier Soccer League losses, shattered their ambitions to end the season with at least one piece of silverware. While their chances of claiming a PSL title are slim, what is certainly reachable is a top-three finish.

After ending a four-match losing streak with victory over Durban City last weekend, the Soweto giants will be eager to follow up on that when they face Magesi FC at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday. They know backing up that result is crucial as they look to reassert themselves in the closing stages of the season. Another win would significantly boost their hopes of finishing in the top three and securing rights to play continental football next term.

GOAL gives you the details to follow Amakhosi's CAF Confederation Cup Group D trip to Egypt. They face The Green Eagles at Suez Stadium on Sunday as they push to start their group campaign on a high. Coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are leading the Soweto giants for this mission in North Africa from where coming back home with maximum points can be tricky.
