Costa Rica EC Overview

GOAL brings you all the available details on the Premier Soccer League encounter between Rise and Shine and Amakhosi at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. A victory against the Limpopo-based side could see the Glamour Boys leapfrog rivals Orlando Pirates into second position on the league table

The former Amakhosi academy prospect has earned high praise for his performance on the grandest stage of European football, despite his side suffering a heavy defeat. The 22-year-old was handed a starting berth for Azerbaijani outfit Sabah FK as they faced the daunting task of taking on Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Former Amakhosi striker Kenny Niemach has hit out at the club's supporters, claiming their lack of patience is a major factor behind the team's persistent goalscoring issues. The retired forward believes that constant criticism from the stands makes it nearly impossible for new signings to find their feet at Naturena.

With the PSL embracing football data providers, the information available to clubs around the world has seen a massive spike in interest in South African players. And with SkillCorner now reporting that the local league is closing in on the top 10 ranking in the world for physicality, and the top three for explosiveness, expect many more global clubs, especially from Major League Soccer, to start shopping for players in Mzansi.
