Mamelodi Sundowns FC news

The Brazilians have confirmed their fourth signing of the season after bringing in another Portuguese to Chloorkop. It now remains to be seen if they have made the correct choice as they struggle to break away and take a commanding lead in the Premier Soccer League title race just like they have been doing for the better part of the last eight seasons.

Top teams in the South African top-flight are set to challenge each other for the annual crown with millions of Rands at stake.

The Malawi international has initially been branded as a tough individual to deal with before his move to the Natal Rich Boys.

The Brazilians' Premier Soccer League title is under serious threat as Babina Noko lead the race for glory while Bucs and Amakhosi are on the hunt. Downs’ grip on the league title is starting to feel less certain as Sekhukhune have taken the spotlight, leading the pack from the very beginning of the season.

The Abafana Bes'thende tactician believes his former club is still a competitive side and has explained what is making Masandawana struggle. The coach has also tipped the new signings to shine and help the club.

Masandawana technical team gave a chance to the club's new boys in the recent outing and the tactician has reacted to their performances.

The Portuguese midfielder was landed just hours before the transfer window closed and got his first minutes in Wednesday's loss to Golden Arrows. Despite the result, Masandawana's new No10 has talked about his approach to football and laid down what he wants to achieve.

The tactician discussed what the former Masandawana star was capable of offering after the Tshwane giants suffered their first loss of the season. However, Cardoso said they are not trying to replace but are developing a team with a different identity.

The Tshwane giants confirmed Masandawana are not done yet with strengthening for the busy 2025/26 season.

Masandawana were frustrated and ended up dropping points that may cost them big at the end of the season. Being the defending champions and a dominant force in the last eight seasons, much was expected from them, but they look far from convincing.

Abafana Bes'thende claimed a huge result against the Brazilians who are now feeling the pressure in their bid to defend their crown.

GOAL gives you the details to follow Madandawana's continued chase for a ninth straight PSL title with a trip to Abafana Bes'thende on Wednesday.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions are keen on getting another vital win in the midweek assignment when they travel to King Zwelithini Stadium to face Manqoba Mngqithi's outfit on Wednesday. It will be crucial for Masandawana to get a positive outcome against Abafana Bes'thende.
