NEWS SCOOP: NGEZANA, NASCIMENTO, MNTAMBO CLOCK THE MOST CAF GAME-TIME

Monday, 15 March, 2021

Mzansi's biggest teams are currently participating in the group stages of CAF continental competitions, we take a closer look at some of the statistics from their respective CAF campaigns so far:

Two of Mzansi's top teams still have progression into the quarter finals within their grasp heading into the final round of CAF Champions League competition group stage, with Orlando Pirates still having five more fixtures to play in the CAF Confederations Cup group stages.

Three players from the top three sides in Mzansi have registered the most playing time during this season's CAF competitions, with one off them, Siyabonga Ngezana, earning a three-year-deal extension with the Glamour Boys, perhaps justifying his new deal.

Since then, the midfielder has featured in 9 league matches (7 as a sub) in the DStv Premiership.

Meanwhile, Ricardo Nascimento recovered from a hamstring injury just in time to lead the team in the absence of Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompo Kekana, leading the team to an unbeaten campaign so far in both the CAF Champions League and the domestic DStv Premiership.
