The new Glamour Boy has attracted the attention of Bucs' former star, who has said Chiefs now have a player that is going to help them a great deal. Already, the new player has hit the road running, as his time at Naturena started on a bright note.

The 29-year-old was making a comeback from a fitness setback and made a huge impact on his return. He came off the bench to grab the deciding goal of the evening as Amakhosi beat their hosts, Durban City in eThekwini on Friday. That has left an Amakhosi coach applauding the Guinea-Bissau international forward.

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. The result took the Soweto giants to third place on the table with 19 points.

With both Masandawana and the Glamour Boys hoping to do well in their CAF games, the tactician has asked for support from the local football governing body. Last season, Downs managed to reach the final of the Champions League despite the fact that they had a congested calendar.

The Brazilians will approach one of their most highly anticipated games without a key figure in their squad, as the 28-year-old is set to miss the match after picking up his fourth yellow card. The caution came in the dying minutes of the Carling Knockout Cup clash against Marumo Gallants, a moment that has forced the coach to rethink his options.

The Soweto giants have made their intentions clear — exploring possibilities to make their way back to Dobsonville Stadium. This comes as no surprise following the impressive fan turnout during their recent continental fixture at the South Western Township venue. However, questions remain over whether the facilities meet the necessary standards to regularly host top-flight matches.

The 21-year-old winger is in his second season playing top-flight league football. After making just one appearance last term, he has improved himself to become an important player for TS Galaxy. For someone who came through the development ranks of AmaZulu and Cape Town City, he is showing that he had a good football education growing up.

The tendency of players moving from either side of Soweto is not new, as some notable players have done so. Recently, Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane made such moves after they were released by the Sea Robbers.

Despite fighting hard to reach the next stage of the continental competition, their coaches' tactical ability has been questioned. Although they are yet to know their group stage rivals, the Glamour Boys' prospects of doing better have been questioned.

Even before they played and eliminated AS Simba in the CAF Confederation Cup, Amakhosi were already dealing with a number of injured players. Now their key forward could miss the next game, as the Soweto giants target a return to winning ways in the Premier Soccer League.

The Amakhosi tactician has been forced to explain the situation around the club's new signing. The player looks set to feature for the DDC side, raising questions on whether he remains a first-team star or has been demoted.

Amakhosi's bid to return to winning ways has failed as they were held at home by the league's debutants. The draw comes days before they play their continental rivals from the DR Congo game, where they must win to proceed.

A former Buccaneer played a crucial role in Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's first goal before their new signing struck to help them collect maximum points. After a run of winless runs, Gallants can now breathe a sigh of relief after seeing off their rivals.
