Bloemfontein Celtic caused the biggest upset of the week as
they beat Wits 2-1 at home on Saturday night.
Striker Tshegofatso Mabasa scored both goals for Celtic, but
it was Lantshene Phalane who stabilised his team’s midfield.
Phalane was both defensively sound, and explosive going
forward.
He was involved in both of Siwelele’s goals, while his
penetrative balls kept goalkeeper Darren Keet busy for the better part of the
night.
Keet is our entrusted man between the sticks, as he came to
Wits’ rescue on a number of occasions.
There was little he could do with Celtic’s penalty and
one-on-one duel against Mabasa, and he continues to prove why he deserves his
Bafana Bafana call-ups.
He is protected by Asavela Mbekile – who impressed on debut
against Polokwane
City and former club
Mamelodi Sundowns – Mosa Lebusa, Teenage Hadebe and Innocent Maela.
Ben Motshwari is gradually proving why he deserves his nod
ahead of Orlando Pirates’ Player of the Season Musa Nyatama.
Motshwari cleans up our defence, while also linking play
with Phalane and wingers Luckyboy Mokoena and Lyle Lakay.
Mokoena has been in fine form for Highlands Park
this season with his deliveries and pace down the flanks.
As a result, he’ll be hoping to continue sending in those
crosses for our front-men, Mabasa and Ayanda Patosi.
We are almost halfway through the season, and so far, we’ve
seen a fitter and responsible Patosi compared to the previous campaign.
