The Brazilians have been miles ahead of their rivals in the Premier Soccer League [PSL] over the past eight seasons, leaving them chasing shadows.

The 29-year-old was making a comeback from a fitness setback and made a huge impact on his return.

The Glamour Boys needed a late header by Flavio Silva to end their five-match winless run in the South African domestic competitions, and four in the Premier Soccer League at the expense of Durban City, who, before the Friday game, were unbeaten at home.

Amakhosi travelled to Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday, 31 October, determined to claim all three points against the KwaZulu-Natal outfit.
