MAMELODI SUNDOWNS’ LUCAS RIBEIRO WINS THE GOLDEN BOOT
In the club’s final match of the season, Ribeiro scored twice in the 2-0 win over Magesi to finish as the league’s top goalscorer with 16 goals, and he is not even a striker but an attacking midfielder.
“This guy next to me is the best player in the PSL and in Africa,” Allende told SuperSport TV after the game.
“I’m very happy for him and to keep him in my team. Congratulations to him for the goals and the top goal scorer [award]. Congratulations to Iqy [Iqraam] for making a very wonderful season,” the Sundowns midfielder added.
In the meantime, Sundowns are looking ahead to bigger things: the CAF Champions League final against Pyramids FC and the FIFA Club World Cup in June.
