CF Montreal dismiss Donadel after poor start to MLS season

CF Montreal have dismissed head coach Marco Donadel after a poor start to the MLS season. Donadel's exit means CF Montreal will again be searching for a new manager just six months after hiring him. The club's difficult start to the campaign ultimately proved too much to overcome, forcing another change on the touchline.

Mbokazi claims another clean sheet as Chicago beat MLS log leaders after 'long ass flight'

The 20-year-old was part of a resolute defensive display as The Fire, fuelled by a record-breaking start at Soldier Field, put in a resolute defensive display to protect their 1-0 lead to the final whistle. Afterwards, Mbokazi was singled out by both the coach and his goalkeeper for his efforts after only returning to the United States late on Friday after international duty with Bafana Bafana.

WATCH: Mbokazi misses chance for last-gasp winner in 0-0 stalemate

The 20-year-old started his third Major League Soccer match in a row and played well in keeping a clean sheet for his club. However, the centre back will have sleepless nights over a late chance that would have secured victory for his side.

Mbokazi hailed as one of the most popular players in MLS

When the 20-year-old moved from Orlando Pirates to Chicago Fire, it triggered a massive upsurge on the Chicago club's social media, which saw 180,000 followers join in the first 48 hours. That figure has since grown to over half a million South African social media accounts now following the club, making up a quarter of their entire online audience.

Mbokazi gets first win and clean sheet in MLS despite red card drama

The 20-year-old started his first home match of the season and played well in securing a clean sheet for his club despite playing for 40 minutes with 10 men after a VAR review led to a red card for left back Jonathan Dean.

The 21-year-old has been on a steady rise in recent years, transforming his career. From being an Amakhosi discard, he rebuilt his reputation to become one of the standout performers in the Premier Soccer League while turning out for TS Galaxy. He is now forging a club career overseas as he looks to scale even greater heights, including in international football.

WATCH: Mbokazi struggles in MLS debut despite moment of brilliance

The 20-year-old started his first competitive match for his new club, but it did not go as planned. Despite taking the lead in the first half through Hugo Cuypers, Chicago succumbed to two second half goals to slump to their first defeat of the Eastern Conference season. Puso Dithejane also made his debut when he replaced his fellow countryman in the 88th minute.
