Lucas Ribeiro, the Brazilian football prodigy, lit up the South African Premiership last Wednesday by netting an extraordinary goal, leading Mamelodi Sundowns to a 2-0 triumph against SuperSport United. This decisive victory not only catapulted Sundowns back to the pole position but also engraved the team’s name in the Premiership’s history for the most successive wins at the start of the season.
The mid-season recruit from the Belgian club SK Beveren, Ribeiro, has etched his name in the hearts of Sundowns’ supporters. His display of absolute genius and execution was breathtaking. He timed his sprint to perfection, slipping beyond SuperSport’s defensive fortress to meet a perfectly lofted free-kick by Neo Maema. His strike was as exact as it was potent.
Ribeiro’s fantastic goal was the result of a set-piece tactic, the brainchild of the Sundowns’ coach, Rulani Mokwena, a football tactician with a mind as sharp as Ribeiro’s footwork. This goal, which closely followed a 31st-minute opener by the Namibian, Peter Shalulile, doubled Sundowns’ lead as the first half of the game was drawing to a close.
Ribeiro’s contribution to the Pretoria club has been nothing less than extraordinary. He has already netted six goals in the Premiership and a further three in the CAF Champions League, even though the season is only halfway through. His goal-scoring flair has placed him in a direct competition for the Premiership Golden Boot with Tshegofatso Mabasa of Moroka Swallows and Khanyiso Mayo of Cape Town City.
The latter half of the Pretoria derby was riddled with missed chances for both sides, yet the score remained unmoved. Sundowns’ win has pushed them two points ahead of Cape Town City, with an advantage of four unplayed games in hand.
Mokwena, despite having no professional football playing career, has demonstrated his capabilities as a stern leader. He praised his players for their effective implementation of his set-piece strategy, attributing the success to their brilliance. However, he did not hesitate to express his discontent with the number of missed scoring chances.
Sundowns are riding a wave of success, remaining undefeated in 33 Premiership matches over two seasons, since their last loss to SuperSport in September 2022. Their focus is now on the forthcoming CAF Champions League group match against TP Mazembe in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Meanwhile, the league continues to be a hotbed of thrilling football. On Tuesday, Stellenbosch ascended three spots to fourth, extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to seven matches with a 3-0 victory against the bottom club, Cape Town Spurs.
In the South African Premiership, the stakes are still soaring, the game ferocious, and the thrill infectious. With players like Ribeiro and coaches like Mokwena gracing the scene, the league continues to experience record-shattering performances and electrifying football.
