Match

SuperSport United throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Ajax Cape Town the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that SuperSport United will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings

A brace, and Rivaldo Dolly takes the afternoon — 9.02

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Rivaldo Dolly provided it, and the 9.02 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

No end in sight to SuperSport United's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at SuperSport United has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Ramahlwe Modiba 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Sifiso Modiba

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Sifiso Modiba will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around SuperSport United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

SuperSport United leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad

Rivaldo Dolly is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.23 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gift Vilakazi

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Siyabonga Billiat 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.

Squad

A day Sifiso Modiba will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match

Sifiso Modiba sends SuperSport United through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Sifiso Modiba obliged against Jomo Cosmos. 8‑6 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is SuperSport United.

Match

Sifiso Modiba wins it after the whistle should have gone

98 minutes played. Sifiso Modiba found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Jomo Cosmos went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Sifiso Modiba, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 9.85

A mark of 9.85 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

3 goals for Gift Vilakazi

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

Player ratings

Ramahlwe Modiba, 34, rolls back the years — 8.67

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.67 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Emmanuel Olisa keeps SuperSport United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Williams Mphela signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Williams Mphela commits to SuperSport United for another 2 years.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Justine Mthwane

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
