Ajax Cape Town tear Black Aces apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑1 against Black Aces, and it could have been more.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Defences have started doubling up on Hlompho Phiri
22 goals and a season average of 7.55 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Hlompho Phiri takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.
Match19 Sep 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Ajax Cape Town and Black Aces in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Hlompho Phiri was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.73. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Agustín Cortez 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.

Ajax Cape Town rebuffed over Ognjen Lukić
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Javor-Matis have kept their man, and Ajax Cape Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Words exchanged at Ajax Cape Town
Happy Mashiane and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
One of their own: Percy Vilakazi
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
In brief
- The dugout Teboho Grobler gets it from the manager
- Player ratings Siyabonga Dolly was on a different afternoon to everybody else
