Premier Soccer League action continued this weekend as the campaign rolled into matchday 19, with teams jostling for crucial points in the race for honours and survival.

Amakhosi were humiliated by their old rivals in a contest where they offered little resistance for the better part of the afternoon. By their co-coach’s own admission, they were out of the game and were outplayed by their opponents. The damaging result also appeared to have caught the attention of their former coach, adding to the growing scrutiny on their performance.

Unpredictable PSL title race excites ex-Bafana star - 'We’ll have to wait and see'

Since the 2019/20 season, when many believed Kaizer Chiefs were destined to lift the trophy, the Premier Soccer League has rarely produced such uncertainty at the top. Sundowns have consistently set the pace in recent years, often pulling clear of the chasing pack. However, the 2025/26 season seems to be heading in a similar direction, with the title race far less predictable, a development that the ex-Bafana forward finds exciting.

Ouaddou on Derby masterclass - 'We spoke to players to try and manage their emotions'

The Derby is one of the most emotionally charged fixtures in South African football, where nerves and pressure can either inspire brilliance or lead to costly mistakes. By focusing on emotional control and mental readiness in the build-up, Ouaddou appears to have struck the right chord, a psychological approach that translated into a composed and ruthless performance from the Buccaneers.

The Glamour Boys co-coach has broken his silence regarding the intensifying pressure on his position following a disastrous run of form that has seen the Naturena outfit fall off the pace in the league and eliminated from both the Nedbank Cup and CAF Confederation Cup. Amakhosi have endured a nightmare February, losing four of their last five matches across all competitions, leaving fans questioning whether the current technical team is capable of restoring the club’s former glory.

Bafana Bafana are heavily powered by players plying their trade in the Premier Soccer League; that local pedigree has helped turn them into a formidable force on the African continent. A former star who enjoyed a glittering club career across Europe has been charmed by what he has witnessed in South Africa’s domestic scene, insisting the structure and brand of football on display are qualities worth emulating.

Ex-Chiefs star launches case against PSL & SAFA over R15M unsettled wages

A legal battle could be looming as the forward accuses the two football bodies of failure to enforce an order by FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Since the world governing body ordered that the former Amakhosi star be paid his dues, that has not happened. Now, the two football administrative bodies find themselves in a difficult position given the new steps taken by the player.

Sundowns warned 'don't rely on Chiefs' amid intense PSL title race

The Tshwane giants face a tough challenge of defending the league crown after a dominance that has stretched for eight seasons straight.

As the marathon intensifies, the defending champions have been told not to look for favours elsewhere but must do it by themselves.

Calls for the 21-year-old defender to be included in the National Team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continue to grow louder, with some believing he has done enough to earn his place in the squad. The centre-back has steadily built his profile during his three years in the United States, gaining valuable experience in a competitive environment. Crucially, he has tested himself against some of the best attacking talents in the game, such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Just as continuity seemed within reach, their German technical director has departed once again, marking his second exit this season. The revolving door continues to raise questions about the club's long-term planning and direction.
