The former Buccaneers coach was in his second game in charge of the Green Eagles and failed to guide his team to collecting maximum points at home. Coaching a demanding club with fans who are not patient with coaches or underperforming players, the South African will have to record a win in their next match.

There seems to be no end to some problems the Soweto giants have been facing in recent seasons. That has left Amakhosi slowly slipping away from the leading pack in the Premier Soccer League title race. They, however, have time to fix their frailties before they lose track of the teams they are chasing in the bid to be crowned PSL champions.
Although the forward has not featured in many games for Amakhosi since he joined the Naturena outfit, a club legend has warned that he may not be as productive as he should because of positioning. The ex-Chiefs star has explained where exactly Mayo should play in order to give what is expected from him.
The former Black Leopards and Stellenbosch star had been struggling to make an impact in the Amakhosi squad but he is now being held in high esteem by the Tunisian coach. He is being described as one of the most important players at Naturena, something that gives him pressure to prove beyond any reasonable doubt.
The forward, who is on loan from CR Belouizdad, might spark debate about his ability to read the situation while in the thick of things during a match. But that leaves him needing to prove that he should not be judged by just one incident which threatens to make some forget about his goal-scoring capabilities.
The Soweto giants' forwards struggled against AmaZulu goalkeeper Darren Johnson, who was solid between the sticks on an evening he saved a penalty and pulled off some crucial saves.

After finding itself receiving heavy criticism after Bafana were punished, the football association is staring at yet another tough case. The delay in conclusively dealing with appeals involving players has now emerged as another challenge SAFA is facing as the local players union says enough is enough..
The forward has established himself as one of the key players of his current club, and this is the reason he was massively linked with Amakhosi. Although he did not sign for the Glamour Boys in the last transfer window, he maintains his dream to play for one of the PSL heavyweights is valid.
The relationship between Kaizer Chiefs and their head coach, Nasreddine Nabi, appears to be over, although the club has yet to make this official. The Tunisian coach is on the verge of mutually parting ways with Amakhosi following a lack of trust between the two parties and licensing issues.
Struggling Chilli Boys managed to add a point to their tally, but it was not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone. The Maroons, on the other hand, were unable to end their winless run, meaning they are just above the red zone.
Durban City now have the same points as Orlando Pirates after a goalless draw against Stellenbosch, while Chilli Boys collected a point that took them above Siwelele FC, although they remain in the relegation zone.
The 28-year-old had been strongly tipped to join the Buccaneers on the transfer deadline day, Monday, September 22, but things did not work out as anticipated. The Soweto giants needed another body in midfield especially in the creative department.
From blockbuster arrivals to messy departures, the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League transfer window had it all. Amakhosi made a statement, the Buccaneers reloaded and Masandawana were rocked by the Ribeiro saga.
The Sea Robbers have strengthened the playing unit with more than 10 new signings so far, but it seems they are not done yet. As the clock ticks towards the deadline, Bucs look to sign another PSL star.
Premier Soccer League action continues as the title race is slowly taking shape with teams separating each other.
