Team of the Week

There are no prizes for guessing who our Coach of the Week is as there is only one candidate fit for a place in our dugout: Cape Town City’s Benni McCarthy. The Bafana Bafana record goalscorer bagged his first piece of silverware as a coach just two seasons into the job when his side beat SuperSport United 4-1 on penalties in the MTN8 final. In goal we have Peter Leeuwenburgh, who saved two penalties in the shootout and forming part of the rearguard are City captain Thamsanqa Mkhize, Kwanda Mngonyama and Edmilson Dove – who was named Man-of-the-Match on Saturday. Although he ended on the losing side, Aubrey Modiba was industrious for Matsatsantsa A Pitori and he rounds up the backline. Dean Furman gets the nod in the heart of midfield as he is the only SuperSport player who managed to convert from 12 yards. while match-winner Thabo Nodada, who received his maiden Bafana Bafana call-up yesterday, plays alongside Furman and Ronald Putsche.
