Saffas: Mothiba nets while Dolly, Zungu get vital minutes

Published on

Lebo Mothiba found his scoring touch as he netted in Strasbourgs draw over the weekend. The goal would have pleased Stuart Baxter with the forward linking up with the Bafana Bafana squad, as would have the runouts of Bongani Zungu and Keagan Dolly in France.

Kamohelo Mokotjo

Kamo Mokotjo played 82 minutes of Brentford’s 1-0 loss to West Brom, ending with 70 touches, two tackles, two interceptions, one key pass and an 89% pass completion rate.

Liam Jordan

The former Bidvest Wits youngster has continued to impress in Denmark as he bagged his ninth assist of the season as HB Köge beat FC Helsingör 2-0 in Danish top flight.

The 20-year-olds goal contribution, goals and assists combined, has now risen to 14 goals in 21 league games this season.

Dino Ndlovu

The South African forward started his second game of the season as Zhejiang Greentown begin another push for promotion to the Chinese Super League.

Just as he did in the first game of the season, Ndlovu hit the back of the net for his side, bagging the winner as they beat Heilongjiang Lava Spring 2-1.

The forward is clearly having an impact in China with his goal tally now at 21 from 26 games for the Asian club.

Lebogang Phiri

The midfielder was fresh from being left out of Stuart Baxter’s latest Bafana Bafana side but out in a stellar performance as his Guingamp side fight relegation from Ligue 1.
Phiri helped guide his side to a massive 1-0 win over Dijon to climb out of the automatic relegation places.

He was integral in the midfield as he made 40 accurate passes, morethan any other player on the field, with a 91% pass completion, two key passes, three tackles, three interceptions.

Keagan Dolly and Bongani Zungu

Dolly and Zungu continued their comeback from injury in France over the weekend as they look to prove their fitness before linking up with Bafana Bafana.

Dolly played 90 minutes for Montpellier II as they lost 2-1 to Blagnac on Saturday afternoon, but the forward came through the game without any hiccups.

Zungu on the other hand played 83 minutes in the middle of the park for Amiens II’s as they drew 1-1 with Olympique Saint-Quentin.

Lebogang Mothiba

Mothiba got back to scoring ways before linking up with the national side as he netted his 11th goal of the season.

The striker opened the scoring for Strasbourg against Nimes, but they went on to a 2-2 draw.

Thulani Serero

Serero played the full 90 minutes as his Vitesse team lost 3-2 to Heracles.

Serero, however had a positive game as he had more possession (7.1%) than any other Vitesse player, with 84 touches, 97% pass completion, two key passes and three interceptions in the encounter.

Siphiwe Tshabalala

The Chiefs legends struggles for game time continued as he was an unused substituted in Erzurumspor 1-0 loss to Trabzonspor.

Shabba has struggled to make an impact in Turkey, making just 11 appearances so far.
