Zamalek SC news

The Maroons' veteran coach is finding the going difficult in the continental competition and has now presided over his side's elimination and it came in humiliating fashion. He now leads his men to fully focus on domestic duties.

Team Ya Ziko remain winless in their pool after four losses in a row in the annual CAF inter-club competition. The Zambian heavyweights lost twice to an opponent from Egypt before losing both home and away against the Glamour Boys to crash out of the tournament. The Soweto giants have a massive chance to make the knockout phase.

Chiefs are spreading their wings by taking some of their home games beyond Gauteng and into other provinces. The Soweto giants are confident in their nationwide appeal, knowing they attract huge crowds wherever they play. Their widespread following ensures that even on “away” turf, they enjoy overwhelming backing from their supporters across South Africa.

The 31-year-old has been one of the most trusted figures at the back in Chiefs’ continental campaign, making five appearances and completing the full 90 minutes in both group-stage clashes against Al Masry and Zamalek. The consistent game time has boosted his confidence, and he’s delighted to be trusted with such responsibility—embracing the pressure, gaining valuable lessons and experience. However, he’s fully aware that turning these performances into crucial points remains a priority.

The Glamour Boys are yet to find convincing results in their CAF Confederations Cup group campaign. They opened their account with a 2–1 defeat to Al Masry in Egypt, before managing only a single point in their home fixture against Zamalek on Saturday — a match in which they had hoped to capitalise on home advantage. Interestingly, in both encounters, Chiefs’ only moments of real threat came from an unexpected source, with right-back Dillan Solomons popping up as the unlikely goal contributor.

It was another day for a former Pirates star to play a crucial role in helping Gallants collect a point, and his display earned him Man of the Match recognition. Meanwhile, the draw means Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have extended their winless run to five games in regulation time. PSL is expected to run for weeks before it goes on a break to allow selected players to join their national teams for the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.

Despite the Glamour Boys fighting back to avoid another loss, the referee has been blamed for the outcome of the game between them and Egyptian heavyweights. The match official has been specifically blamed for two decisions that have now been viewed to have favoured the Soweto giants. The Glamour Boys were staring at what looked like another defeat, but a late goal handed them a sigh of relief.

The new signing finally earned his start for the Soweto giants, who were held to a draw in Polokwane by the Egyptian heavyweights. The technical bench probably wanted to tap into Maboe's experience on the continental stage as Chiefs engaged in their second Confederation Cup group game. After the match, the former Masandawana midfielder has been assessed.

Amakhosi go into their next assignment having endured a run of two consecutive Group D matches without a win. After being edged 2-1 by Al Masry in their opening away fixture, the Soweto giants then survived a home scare against the White Knights, who head back home feeling robbed and have taken their issues with the continental football governing body.

The Glamour Boys remain in pursuit of their first maximum points in Group D, with the Soweto giants still battling to find their rhythm on the continental stage. After two matches played, Chiefs sit in third place with just a single point to their name, leaving plenty of work ahead if they are to climb the standings and keep their qualification hopes to the next round alive.

By picking up yet another win, the Sea Robbers are building up perfect momentum for the Carling Knockout Cup final against Marumo Gallants. Against Durban City, players showed individual brilliance and team brilliance, a testament that Abdeslam Ouadou's rotation policy could be working. Although they started the season struggling, the Sea Robbers have made their way to the top of the Premier Soccer League standings and are now sending a clear signal that they are serious title contenders.

Amakhosi clawed their way back to earn a 1-1 draw against Egyptian giants Zamalek in their second CAF Confederation Cup Group D clash at New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, 29 November. Chiefs are currently sitting third in the group with just a single point from two matches, needing momentum to spark their campaign.

Amakhosi welcomed their Egyptian opponents to the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, 29 November, marking their first home clash in the continental competition’s group stages. The Soweto giants sought redemption after opening their campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat to Al Masry last weekend.
