Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, as well as defender Tapelo Xoki, have been hospitalised after a road traffic incident, which took place on Sunday night after a 3-0 win over Chippa United.

Mamelodi Sundowns' Peter Shalulile broke the Premier Soccer League (PSL) all-time goals record with a penalty in a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Saturday, finally passing Siyabonga Nomvethe's mark of 129.

Fresh off their first win of the Betway Premiership season, Stellenbosch will host a still impressive but disjointed Mamelodi Sundowns at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.

Sundowns' Peter Shalulile sits level with Kaizer Chiefs legend Siyabonga Nomvethe on 129 top-flight goals in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era. Will he break it, against the Amakhosi, on Wednesday?

The second leg fixtures in the MTN8 semi-final will both be played on Saturday, with Mamelodi Sundowns and Stellenbosch ahead of Orlando Pirates (on away goals) and Sekhukhune United respectively.
