"Cole Alexander bossed the midfield of Mthobi Mvala, Rivaldo Coetzee & Andile Jali... For a moment, 1998 Rothmans Cup flashed in front of original Mamelodi Sundowns fans with that Lyle Lakay denied penalty goal. Poor officiating in the shoot-out. Kaizer Chiefs looks promising."

@KaraboRithuri_ commented:

"As indicated when analysing Cole Alexander, transitions seem as if they will be an important part of Chiefs' tactics this season. Nange's ability to progress the ball, either through combinations or ball-carrying is useful especially immediately after winning possession."

@waltzmas said:

"Phathutshedzo Nange and Cole Alexander are going to be phenomenal this season for Chiefs. #Amakhosi4Life."

@Mystraw commented:

"Cole Alexander is my favourite player right now."

@_iamsoso said:

"Nange is going to be massive for us. Cole Alexander is also a great upgrade from Katsande."

Fans react to Kennedy Mweene's penalty saves off the line

In similar news, Briefly News reported that Mamelodi Sundowns dominated their MTN8 clash against Kaizer Chiefs but fans are debating if the officiating was done properly.

Sundowns veteran goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene saved four penalties in the shootout and came out as the hero. Social media users, however, have been arguing online about the penalties and realised that Mweene was off his line for each one that he saved.

Mamelodi Sundowns fans are rejoicing but Kaizer Chiefs fans are not so convinced. Mweene was given the man of the match award for how he played as Masandawana advanced to the next round of the MTN8.
