The SuperSport United Sentinel
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
A brace, and Andile Khune takes the afternoon — 9.12
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Andile Khune provided it, and the 9.12 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Ramahlwe Jali stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Thulani Zwane is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at SuperSport United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Siyabonga Mphela wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at SuperSport United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

SuperSport United rescue it on 95 minutes
Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 95. Mamelodi Sundowns had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

A falling-out at SuperSport United
Lonwabo Magugwana and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Luther Kekana counts the days
“I watch every SuperSport United game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Gor Mahia runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
Match31 Oct 2026
SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns take a point apiece
It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Robert Luthuli stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Robert Luthuli and SuperSport United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
