Mamelodi Sundowns go top after Gallants victory

Mamelodi Sundowns moved two points clear at the top of the PSL table following a 3-1 win over Marumo Gallants.

Goals from Keano Cupido and a brace by Teboho Mokoena secured all three points, taking the Brazilians to 50 points from 21 matches and strengthening their title charge ahead of Orlando Pirates.

Cardoso demands more despite victory

Head coach Miguel Cardoso admitted he was not fully satisfied with his side’s performance despite the win.

The Portuguese tactician criticised his team’s slow start and lack of intensity in the first half, urging his players to show more commitment from the opening minute. He, however, praised the improved attitude in the second half, which ultimately secured what he described as important three points.

Mokwena unveiled by Al-Ittihad

Former Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has been officially unveiled as the new head coach of Libyan side Al-Ittihad SC.

The Tripoli-based club confirmed his appointment with a graphic showing his achievements, including multiple league titles and continental success during his time in South Africa.

Mokwena clears air on Algeria incident

Mokwena has also addressed reports surrounding his recent detention in Algeria over undeclared foreign currency.

The 38-year-old received a two-month suspended sentence after being found with cash exceeding the legal limit but has since been released and is expected to continue his coaching duties following his move to Libya.
