Nobody could get near Lebogang Billiat
Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A defender's afternoon for Luther Furman
Defensive actions: 20. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

No place for Ronwen Modiba in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ronwen Modiba has his answer from Bloemfontein Celtic; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
