Match2 Oct 2027

The wait goes on for DAC Dunajska Streda

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Uroš Kabić: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” DAC Dunajska Streda have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Nobody could get near Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson and DAC Dunajska Streda agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Tempers go at DAC Dunajska Streda

Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson 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.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Eymard Bationo 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.

Match2 Oct 2027

DAC Dunajska Streda cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Match2 Oct 2027

MSK Zilina take the points off DAC Dunajska Streda

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings4 Oct 2027

The chances came and went for Ammar Ramadan

7 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Match20 Feb 2027

Still nobody has beaten SuperSport United

The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings22 Feb 2027

No sign of nerves from Kermit Jali at 21 — 9.51

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kermit Jali did not need any: 9.51, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Siyabonga Kekana

20 goals and a season average of 7.30 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Erick Dala says SuperSport United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market22 Feb 2027

Keagan Kekana has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around SuperSport United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Thulani Ngcobo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SuperSport United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad22 Feb 2027

SuperSport United count the cost of losing Ronwen Modiba

34 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings22 Feb 2027

One of those days for Sifiso Erasmus

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.29, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match20 Feb 2027

SuperSport United get the job done against Polokwane City

A 3‑1 win over Polokwane City, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market31 Aug 2026

SuperSport United sell their best player to Free State Stars

$240.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Match29 Aug 2026

SuperSport United run riot against Jomo Cosmos

5‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad31 Aug 2026

3 goals for Siyabonga Kekana

The match ball belongs to Siyabonga Kekana, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

SuperSport United sell a favourite for $240.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Bongani Mabunda was one of the reasons people came, and $240.0K does not replace that by itself.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Kermit Jali at 21 — 7.78

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kermit Jali did not need any: 7.78, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ronwen Modiba, 33, rolls back the years — 7.94

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.94 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market31 Aug 2026

Erick Dala puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at SuperSport United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

One of those days for Siyabonga Kekana

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.76, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thulani Ngcobo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
