Masandawana booked a place in the next phase of the competition despite going down in Bamako. This means the Premier Soccer League heavyweights' dream of a second continental star lives on. However, their inconsistency will make their ability to go all the way and conquer Africa questionable.

The 21-year-old forward started Amakhosi’s last two matches and finally found the back of the net on Saturday. He has struggled for game time this season but made the most of his opportunity when handed a place in the starting line-up. His latest exploits could now help him earn the trust of the coaches and secure more playing minutes going forward.

After dropping points against Siwelele, the Buccaneers have responded in a convincing manner by dispatching 10-man Galaxy. By the end of the first half, the Sea Robbers had fully utilised their dominance, as the scoreline reflected what was happening on the pitch. The result thrusts the Ghost back to the top of the table, but Mamelodi Sundowns have a game in hand.

The Soweto giants endured a difficult spell, suffering four consecutive defeats that raised concerns about their squad depth and quality. However, they have managed to steady the ship, bouncing back with victories in their last two matches. One of Amakhosi’s coaches has now pointed to what he believes were key factors behind that losing run.
