Amine Messoussa, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.67
A mark of 9.67 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Teboho Khune scores twice — 8.33
Two goals and a mark of 8.33 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

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

Nobody could get near Itumeleng Grobler
Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

SuperSport United count the cost of losing Teboho Mphela
16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Tempers go at SuperSport United
Bongani Vilakazi 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.
In brief
