SC Bastia Overview

The CAF Champions League winners have bolstered their attacking ranks with the acquisition of the 24-year-old, who returns to South Africa after a stint in Austria. The talented forward has now shed light on why he chose the Premier Soccer League side over continuing his career in European football.

The Bloemfontein outfit was held to a draw by the Rockets, who fought back to earn a point. In another encounter, Rise and Shine edged the Natal Rich Boys to get their campaign off to a winning start and secure maximum points. Meanwhile, Cedric Kaze claimed the early bragging rights over Khalil Ben Youssef in the reunion of the former Amakhosi co-coaches. AmaZulu secured all three points against Steliies. Elsewhere, Abafana Bes'thende and the Chilli Boys were forced to settle for a goalless stalemate.

The Bafana Bafana star is closing in on a sensational return to Masandawana after a challenging period abroad that saw his progress stall in North America and Europe. Despite a difficult eighteen months away from Chloorkop, former Orlando Pirates star Lebohang Mokoena believes the forward is primed to dominate the Premier Soccer League once again.

The opening day of the Premier Soccer League got underway without the goal rush many had expected, as teams struggled to find the back of the net. Cedric Kaze wins first round against Khalil Ben Youssef in the Amakhosi reunion. A second-half penalty proved decisive for Usuthu, while Abafana Bes'thende and the Chilli Boys had to settle for a share of the spoils after playing out a draw. Elsewhere, Richards Bay, Polokwane City, Siwelele and TS Galaxy will all be eager to kick off their campaigns on a positive note as they battle for valuable opening-day points.
