WATCH: Mofokeng rounds keeper to seal first pre-season win for Orlando Pirates
Relebohile Mofokeng came off the bench to secure a 2-0 victory for Orlando Pirates against Granada on Saturday evening in Spain. This match was the Buccaneers' fourth and final pre-season game, and they needed a strong performance to boost their confidence ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. After losing their first match against Bolton Wanderers last week, Orlando Pirates had played two successive draws before facing Granada. In the first half of the game, the team looked positive and could have taken the lead, but their lack of finishing let them down. In the second half, the Sea Robbers continued to press for a goal, but again struggled with finishing. While the Spanish side also created some chances, they were unable to convert them. Mofokeng was introduced in the second half as Pirates searched for the winner. Their persistence paid off when Patrick Maswanganyi blasted a shot past the Granada keeper after the ball fell at his feet. The Buccaneers continued to push for a second goal, which came in the 90th minute when Relebohile dribbled past the keeper, giving Orlando Pirates their first victory of the pre-season. Having played in four matches in Spain, 'President Ya Ma 2000' scored two times. The 20-year-old has recently been in the spotlight regarding his future, and this match may have been his last in Pirates colours.

Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Mayo, Kwinika, Jaedin Rhodes, new striker
Kaizer Chiefs have concluded their pre-season tour to the Netherlands with one win and four defeats. Having spent nearly three weeks in the Netherlands, Amakhosi will now return to South Africa to finalise their preparations ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. The Soweto giants will play Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko next weekend in the Toyota Cup. So far, Chiefs have made seven signings but are expected to bring in more players before the transfer window closes in September. The Glamour Boys have been linked with ex-Cape Town City stars, Jaedin Rhodes and Khanyiso Mayo. The latter is contracted to CR Belouizdad until 2027, but Rhodes is reportedly a free agent and is highly wanted by the big three South African clubs. Mayo has been linked with Amakhosi since 2022 but failed to sign the striker last year after Algerian giants tabled the offer hours before Kaizer Chiefs. With only one striker signed for the season, some fans feel the club need to go out and spend big on a prolific forward. It appears that George Matlou and Zitha Kwinika have extended their stay with Amakhosi. The two players hardly played last season under Nasreddine Nabi but it appears to Tunisian has decided to give them another chance at Naturena. Former Chiefs captain Tefu Mashamaite was delighted that Amakhosi renewed Kwinika's contract. 'Firstly, congratulations to Zitha on his extension. He's a homegrown talent and I had the privilege of working with him when he got promoted from the juniors when I was still at Chiefs. Around that time I tipped him to be part of the next generation to take Amakhosi to the next level. Him, Pule (Ekstein) and (Chris) Matombo,' Mashamaite said to Soccer Laduma . After spells at Chippa United, Bidvest Wits and Stellenbosch, Mashamaite feel Kwinika hasn't really blossomed to his full and true potential. 'And my theory is that I know Zitha to be a centre back. But he was at times used as a right back (under Arthur Zwane), which I think he did pretty well in that position. 'But I feel like his true potential is in the centre back position. He played as a centre back in the Nedbank Cup final, which might be the reason why he has a new chance,' said the former Kaizer Chiefs defender.

Kaizer Chiefs' preseason insights: Building momentum for the upcoming PSL season
All eyes will be on Kaizer Chiefs' Nasreddine Nabi in 2025/2026 as he continues to rebuild the squad. | BackpagePix Image: BackpagePix Kaizer Chiefs returned to South Africa on Thursday, having completed a demanding pre-season tour of the Netherlands that offered plenty of encouraging signs as they prepare for the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. While results were mixed, with a hard-fought win over PEC Zwolle and narrow defeats to strong sides like Vitesse, NEC Nijmegen and FC Twente, the overall progress shown by coach Nasreddine Nabi's squad was clear. The tour was an important step in building team chemistry and testing new signings against quality opposition in a challenging European environment. Chiefs looked more cohesive and sharper as the trip progressed. The midfield showed great resilience, with Sibongiseni Mthethwa impressing alongside both Thabo Cele and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo. Their ability to control tempo and break up opposition play improved match by match, giving the team a stronger foundation to build attacks from.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Creativity came from new signing Ethan Chislett, whose vision and passing between the lines brought fresh ideas to Chiefs' play. Up front, Portuguese striker Flavio Silva is still adapting to the team's style and the demands of top-level football. While he did not yet impress consistently, his work ethic suggests he could become an important player as the season unfolds. Defensively, Chiefs benefited from the pairing of Aden McCarthy and Inácio Miguel at centre-back. The young duo grew in confidence throughout the tour, demonstrating solid positioning and communication against sharp Dutch attackers. At full-back, new right-back Thabiso Monyane impressed with his energetic runs and defensive discipline, while Nkanyiso Shinga provided width and threat down the left flank, combining defensive solidity with attacking intent. One of the highlights of the tour was Chiefs' improved transitional play. The team pressed with greater intensity, recovered possession faster, and looked sharper when moving the ball forward. This newfound energy was evident in their ability to stretch opponents and create chances, especially in the second half of games. Results are not Kaizer Chiefs' first priority in Netherlands - Ilyes Mzoughi "Our first priority is not necessarily the final score," the Chiefs goalkeeper coach said. "But, of course, we are a big Club. We must defend the badge. We are here as ambassadors of South Africa." — Austin Ditlhobolo (@A_B_Ditlhobolo) July 10, 2025 Glody Lilepo and Pule Mmodi also stood out, bringing pace, directness and creativity off the bench. Their contributions added a new dimension to Chiefs' attack, providing coach Nabi with valuable options to unlock tight defences. The Dutch tour offered Chiefs valuable lessons and a chance to gel as a unit under challenging conditions. More importantly, it showed that the squad's blend of experience and youth has real promise. With tactical understanding deepening and fitness levels rising, Chiefs look well prepared to challenge for honours in the coming season. For a Chiefs, this pre-season trip was a positive step forward. With a stronger spine and a growing confidence, Amakhosi have set the tone early — now it's about building on this momentum once back home. The stage is set for a competitive Betway Premiership campaign, and Amakhosi are ready to answer the call.
