Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tshepang Mogotlane

Successful dribbles: 39. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

The cup run ends for Afrique Foot Elite

3‑4 against AS Korofina, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

A brace, and Yakubu Abbas takes the afternoon — 8.17

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Yakubu Abbas provided it, and the 8.17 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

7 matches without a win for Afrique Foot Elite

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Afrique Foot Elite are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Souleymane Coulibaly keeps Afrique Foot Elite in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Yakubu Abbas among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Yakubu Abbas on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Afrique Foot Elite and AS Korofina.

Squad

Zoumana Coulibaly falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

A bad afternoon for Afrique Foot Elite against Binga

0‑2 to Binga, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Matías Aguirregaray

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Real improvement from Nnayerem Kenneth at Afrique Foot Elite

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nnayerem Kenneth is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Afrique Foot Elite

Ramadan Hassan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Real improvement from Ntokozo Siquba at Afrique Foot Elite

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ntokozo Siquba is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Tempers go at Afrique Foot Elite

Fabby Clark was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A late step up for Ayanda Vete

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Thabang Molefe gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Thabang Molefe has just signed for Afrique Foot Elite, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Sihle Tati stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sihle Tati and Afrique Foot Elite agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Zoumana Coulibaly falls out with a teammate over standards

Market

Afrique Foot Elite finally fill the problem position with Thabiso Msele

Every supporter in the ground could have named the hole in this team, and most of them did, loudly, for months. Thabiso Msele has been signed to close it.
