Mamelodi Sundowns have already played a third of their league games (10) this season, with most other clubs not far behind. This means there is more than enough data to look at which players top the charts for various key attacking and defensive categories across the league. And as you will discover, there are plenty of surprise Top Dogs in the PSL this season.
The Soweto giants' forwards struggled against AmaZulu goalkeeper Darren Johnson, who was solid between the sticks on an evening he saved a penalty and pulled off some crucial saves. It was two points dropped at home by Amakhosi who have now gone for three successive Premier Soccer League games without winning.
Amakhosi had to come from behind to scrape a draw with Usuthu in a Premier Soccer League match at FNB Stadium on Wednesday. The Soweto giants struggled to build on last weekend's victory in the CAF Confederation Cup as they dropped points in their own backyard.
Amakhosi were among the busiest sides in the transfer window, and what influenced their choices for new signings has been revealed. The ability to withstand criticism and pressure, especially on social media, is one of the traits the club considered while drafting their transfer list, according to their coach.
After finding itself receiving heavy criticism after Bafana were punished, the football association is staring at yet another tough case. The delay in conclusively dealing with appeals involving players has now emerged as another challenge SAFA is facing as the local players union says enough is enough..
The Soweto giants have failed to win their last two Premier Soccer League games and are seeking redemption to keep themselves in contention for the title. Currently fifth on the table, Amakhosi have seven points fewer than log leaders Mamelodi Suncdowns who have played three more games.
The Soweto giants are facing a problem that has haunted them in recent seasons and they are keen on fixing their attack. A low return in scoring goals has been a handicap for Chiefs and that threatens to spoil their season is not corrected now. Their coach insists they have a solution to this problem.
The striker has spoken openly about the club’s recent goal-scoring concerns, offering a candid perspective on the issue that’s sparked debate. With expectations high, the former Stellenbosch forward emphasises the importance of unity and shared responsibility in turning the situation around.
The forward has established himself as one of the key players of his current club, and this is the reason he was massively linked with Amakhosi. Although he did not sign for the Glamour Boys in the last transfer window, he maintains his dream to play for one of the PSL heavyweights is valid.
The relationship between Kaizer Chiefs and their head coach, Nasreddine Nabi, appears to be over, although the club has yet to make this official. The Tunisian coach is on the verge of mutually parting ways with Amakhosi following a lack of trust between the two parties and licensing issues.
The current South Africa national team is trying to match or surpass the Clas of 1996 which won the Africa Cup of Nations and went on to qualify for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. Every generation has a face of the crop and an ex-Amakhosi star selects the player he thinks is the heartbeat of today's team.
