JOHANNESBURG – Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, George Maluleka’s spectacular goal for Kaizer Chiefs against SuperSport United has been voted the best goal for December.
The central midfielder, who was captain on the day, produced a superb strike on the edge of the 18-yard area after a pass from Kabelo Mahlasela, a goal which saw Chiefs win 1-0 over United.
The 30-year old’s goal ensured that he became the first Amakhosi player to win the award this season and will be the first individual monthly award for Maluleka, who’s also had stints at United and Ajax Cape Town.
