Khuliso Mudau produced one of the standout individual moments of South Africa’s World Cup so far, with a moment of skill against Canada in the Round of 32 spreading rapidly across social media.

Despite Bafana Bafana suffering a narrow defeat in their historic first World Cup knockout appearance, the Sundowns right-back gave fans something to cheer about midway through the second half.

Mudau nutmegged two Canadian players in quick succession before being fouled by midfielder Nathan Saliba, a moment that immediately lit up timelines as clips of the audacious piece of skill did the rounds.

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies continued their flawless run in the Hollywoodbets Super League Amplified with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Richmond United at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, extending their unbeaten start to the season to three matches.

The Brazilians had to be patient against a well-organised Richmond United side, eventually breaking the deadlock in the 41st minute through Lelona Daweti before Nonhlanhla Mthandi doubled the lead two minutes later to send the reigning champions into half-time firmly in control. The result means Banyana Ba Style have now scored 15 goals without conceding a single one through their opening three league fixtures.

The result keeps the Brazilians among the early pace-setters as they chase another league title.

Romain Folz, who once served as an assistant coach under Manqoba Mngqithi at Mamelodi Sundowns, has landed a new role on the continent after agreeing a one-year deal with Tunisian Ligue 1 side US Monastir, iDiski Times reports.

The 36-year-old Frenchman takes over from Tarek Jarraya, who led Monastir to a fifth-placed finish last season.

Folz’s coaching journey across Africa has been extensive, having previously worked at Marumo Gallants and AmaZulu in South Africa, as well as spells with Horoya AC in Guinea, Ashanti Gold and Bechem United in Ghana, and Township Rollers in Botswana.

He was most recently in charge of Tanzanian giants Young Africans as head coach, having also served as Sporting Director at Algeria’s Olympique Akbou.
