After a slim victory over Durban City, Abdeslam Ouaddou challenged his strikers to wake up after Pirates had created 53 chances but converted only four.

The response has been immediate.

Yanela Mbuthuma:
⚽ Goals: 2
🎯 Assists: 2

Boitumelo Radiopane:
⚽ Goals: 2
🎯 Assists: 1

That's seven goal contributions between the two strikers across three consecutive matches, with both finding the net again in the 4-0 win over Kruger United.

Pirates now head into CAF Champions League action this coming week with their strikers firing.

Ouaddou asked for goals. His strikers responded.

After a negotiation battle over finances, Pitso Mosimane's return to Bafana Bafana is reportedly imminent.

According to Lorenz Kâhler, SAFA is set to officially announce Mosimane as the new Bafana Bafana head coach today.🀝

The serial CAF Champions League winner is now on the verge of returning for a second spell with the national team, more than a decade after his first.

A huge appointment for South African football.

Lionel Messi has officially announced his retirement from international football at the age of 39, bringing an extraordinary journey with Argentina to an end.

His final World Cup ended with Argentina finishing runners-up to Spain, four years after he finally lifted football's biggest prize in Qatar.

Messi leaves international football as Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player.

Ghampani Lungu has hit the ground running since making the switch from Siwelele FC to Orlando Pirates in the current transfer window.

The ZambianπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡² international already has 4 goal contributions in just 6 appearances:

His biggest moment so far came against Durban City, scoring in the final minute of extra time to fire the Buccaneers into the MTN8 semi-finals.

Marcelo Allende delivered when Sundowns needed him most against Golden Arrows.

The Chilean youth international created the deadlock breaker before scoring in the 78th minute to help secure Masandawana's place in the MTN8 final.

Miguel Cardoso believes South African football may only fully appreciate Allende once he's gone.

β€œThe player we know and the player South Africa knows is a matter of recognising him. I don’t know when he will go, because he will go for sure.

β€œSouth Africa will miss him because he is one hell of a player...”

A Man of the Match performance with a place in the final on the line. πŸ‘†

A semi-final to remember for Yanela Mbuthuma.

With the game still locked at 0-0, Mbuthuma provided the assist for Thapelo Mokobodi to break the deadlock in the 37th minute.

Just two minutes later, he did it again, setting up Ghampani Lungu to double the lead.
