Match9 Sep 2026

SuperSport United march on in the cup

Jomo Cosmos are out and SuperSport United go through, 5‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Amine Messoussa takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

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.

Market14 Sep 2026

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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

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.

Market14 Sep 2026

Sifiso Vilakazi asks to leave SuperSport United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad14 Sep 2026

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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Itumeleng Grobler runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

SuperSport United say no — this time

The offer from Fulham for Teboho Mphela was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Bradley Khune, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.98

A mark of 7.98 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Bongani Vilakazi goes up and wins it — 7.40

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.40 for the rest of it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Percy Tau 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Gift Mahlangu sends SuperSport United past Black Aces

It finished 3‑2, and it was Gift Mahlangu’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to SuperSport United.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Dean Erasmus 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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

SuperSport United supporters have found a favourite in Bongani Vilakazi

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Bongani Vilakazi 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Ajax Cape Town join the queue for Sifiso Furman

Add another name to the list: Ajax Cape Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Sifiso Furman. The answer from SuperSport United has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Manuel Baldé would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Manuel Baldé is living that version at SuperSport United, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market10 Aug 2026

Fulham join the queue for Teboho Mphela

Add another name to the list: Fulham have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Teboho Mphela. The answer from SuperSport United has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Percy Tau stays put

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

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Bradley Khune

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

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Graduation day at SuperSport United

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Dean Erasmus 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

SuperSport United see off Maritzburg United

Three points for SuperSport United, 3‑1 the final word against Maritzburg United in a contest settled by the finer margins.
