Betway Premiership: Five takeaways from the week's PSL action
We take a look at five talking points from the Betway Premiership action last week where all top four teams on the table claimed victories.
Mduduzi Shabalala praise for his dedication at Kaizer Chiefs after 100th appearance
The midfielder came off the bench in the second half, helping Chiefs hold on for the narrow win in Zambia. Co-head coach Khalil Ben Youssef praised Shabalala's intelligence, professionalism, and consistent performances.
"Shabalala is one of the best players; he performs well and is very smart. He always listens to advice and applies it on the field," Ben Youssef said after the match.
"He is a professional, and I hope this continues so he can also be part of the Bafana Bafana squad at the World Cup."
The victory puts Chiefs on course for their Nedbank Cup Round of 32 clash against Stellenbosch on Wednesday at Cape Town Stadium, a game that comes amid a demanding schedule.
Over the past eight days, the team has traveled from Zambia to Mangaung, then Durban, and now to the Western Cape.
"We have been away from home, playing every two days," Ben Youssef said.
The players gave everything they had for this game, and I must commend the technical team, fitness coach, and doctor. We finished exhausted, but when the heart is there and you play to win, nothing can stop you. Now we have to focus on Stellenbosch. There is no time to rest; we must keep working."
Shabalala's 100th appearance is a testament to his dedication, while Chiefs' ability to maintain intensity despite a hectic travel schedule underscores the team's ambition this season on both domestic and continental fronts.
