No mercy from SuperSport United
Bloemfontein Celtic will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. SuperSport United were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Both of them Keagan Mkhize's — 8.37
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.37, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Sifiso Phiri moves on
Angers SCO pay $3.9M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Percy Manyama hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what SuperSport United can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at SuperSport United
Keagan Mkhize 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.

Nothing got past Keagan Kekana
23 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Keagan Kekana 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.

SuperSport United supporters have found a favourite in Kermit Grobler
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kermit Grobler has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Nothing got past Siyabonga Manyama
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
