Mzansi are through to the knockouts, but it came down to the wire on Sunday, 9 November. Despite falling 3-1 to Italy, South Africa clinched second place in Group A after Bolivia and Qatar played out a goalless draw. With four points in the bag, Vela Khumalo’s side live to fight another day.

The Glamour Boys have officially withdrawn from the tournament. The event was originally scheduled to take place during the previous international break on 11 October, but was already postponed to accommodate Amakhosi's injuries and travel commitments.

The former Bafana Bafana star claims that the Amakhosi youngster is not as effective as he should be because he is deployed out of position. Khanye has also blamed those who nurtured the teenager, saying they did not develop him well. Despite Khanye's claims, Vilakazi has been fighting hard and is pushing himself to be one of the key players for his club.

The Sea Robbers are looking dangerous and untouchable with each passing weekend as they continue grinding results in the league. However, the Brazilians are struggling for consistency despite their good quality, as defending champions Amakhosi hope to end their unimpressive run with victory when they play on Sunday.

The Buccaneers have been excellent in domestic competitions, where they are chasing a quadruple after the CAF Champions League exit. After winning the MTN8, the Sea Robbers are in the Carling Knockout final following their success this weekend in the semi-final staged at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions have found the going a bit tough in the 2025/26 edition, despite sitting on top of the table after 12 games. The Soweto giants have been doing quite well in the South African top-flight as opposed to the Brazilians who, despite their quality, seem to lose it in critical times.

The former Portugal junior international has hit top form for Amakhosi and that has drawn comparisons with the Nigeria and Galatasaray forward. This comes after Da Silva has scored four goals in five Premier Soccer League games for Amakhosi. His goal-scoring exploits come as the Soweto giants have been looking for a prolific scorer, the type of player they have been struggling to find.

The Amakhosi defender did not complete the game on Friday, as he was withdrawn following the injury scare. The former Bucs tactician is now worried that his main defender might miss the next match. Since he arrived at his new club, the Glamour Boys' loanee has stamped his authority and become a regular starter, and Da Gama has also explained how he has been very helpful for them so far.

The competition in the Premier Soccer League has been impressive in the last couple of games, where the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, are getting a stiff challenge from the Soweto giants. The trio currently sit in the top three positions with just three points separating Masandawana from third-placed Amakhosi.

Over the years, Amakhosi have been struggling to find a prolific forward who can at least reach the 10-goal mark in the Premier Soccer League. Despite investing in new attacking options, currently with seven forwards in their squad, the goals do not match the personnel they have at their disposal. However, one striker has shown potential that he could fix the club’s problems in attack.

The Glamour Boys have seemingly rediscovered their form in front of the goal after struggling to score more than one goal in the ongoing campaign across all competitions. Seemingly, the stiff competition, especially in the attacking department, is starting to pay dividends as players want to be involved regularly.

The senior men's national team has been on the rise for the past few years as the Belgian tactician continues to tick the right boxes. The 73-year-old has a wide pool of players to make his squad for international competitions, with just a few guaranteed their place ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for December.

All of the Premier Soccer League's Big Three won in Round 12 of the season, with the two Soweto clubs putting in statement wins that will have the Chloorkop faithful starting to worry about their ninth league title in a row. There were standout performers in those matches and across the other mid-week fixtures in the final domestic league games before the international break.
