Dominance, Struggles and Shock: The Fans Have Their Say

--:--
Mamelodi Sundowns faced off against Orlando Pirates in a derby that was sure the bring excitement. Looking at the post-match stats, one could say that Sundowns weren’t messing about, controlling the ball possession, total shots, and the number of passes. This proved correct as Masandawana eased past Pirates thanks to a brace from Namibian striker Peter Shalulile.
Kaizer Chiefs have struggled all season to put the ball in the back of the net and the struggles continued to show as Chiefs remained stagnant in 13th position on the log after they drew to Gallants 0-0. With only 7 shots throughout the game and news that striker Samir Nurkovic will have to undergo surgery, Chiefs will need to make a plan.

In the most talked about event of this past week, Percy Tau will not be representing Bafana Bafana this weekend against Ethiopia in the 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. Al Ahly have come forward and announced that they will not be releasing the South African as he is nursing an injury. This has been met with great shock and disappointment by the fans as Percy is the talisman striker.

On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, Mzansi nation voice and express their feelings towards the Sundowns vs Pirates match, they rate Chief’s performance against Gallants and express concern for how big of an impact Tau’s absence will cause this weekend as Bafana Bafana are set to play back-to-back 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
