Lecce come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Ajax Cape Town did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Khama Furman, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.92
A mark of 7.92 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

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

The crowd has taken to Khama Furman
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The drought breaks for Ajax Cape Town
5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Free State Stars were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.
