Sundowns midfielder produced a moment nobody could ignore

The Premier Soccer League confirmed the Sundowns star’s award on Monday. A voting process decided the winner from a panel of media-accredited football judges.

Mokoena took the prize for his match-winning moment in the ‘ 2-1 victory over Golden Arrows. The Bethlehem-born star, formely with SuperSport United, took the ball just outside the penalty area before producing a curling effort that beat the opposition goalkeeper and found the back of the net.

His strike secured all three points for the Tshwane giants and earned him the individual accolade for the opening two-month period of the 2026/27 Premiership campaign.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS STAR TEBOHO MOKOENA BEATS TWO CONTENDERS

The 29-year-old midfielder faced competition from several goals scored during the September and October period.

Among the shortlisted contenders were Siwelele FC attacker Vincent Pule, who scored a precise free-kick against Marumo Gallants. Then there was Durban City’s Luphumlo Sifumba hitting a screaming free-kick against Milford FC in the KwaZulu Natal Derby.

However, Mokoena’s effort from the edge of the penalty area ultimately received the judges’ recognition. The award adds to the individual honours announced by the PSL for September and October.

PLAYER AND COACH OF THE MONTH WINNERS

Orlando Pirates midfielder Thapelo Mokobodi was named Player of the Month after registering four assists in five league appearances, while AmaZulu FC head coach Arthur Zwane received the Coach of the Month award.

Zwane guided Usuthu to five consecutive league victories during the assessment period, collecting 15 points from five matches.

Mokoena’s recognition comes as Mamelodi Sundowns continue their 2026/27 Betway Premiership campaign. The midfielder remains part of the squad competing at the top end of the league standings, with his latest individual award recognising his contribution during the opening months of the season.

The three awards recognise contributions from Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu FC during the September and October assessment period.
