The accolades, judged by a panel of PSL-accredited football journalists and broadcasters, were announced on Wednesday, February 5.
Player of the Month: Andy Boyeli
Sekhukhune United’s Andy Boyeli clinched the Player of the Month award following an exceptional January performance. The striker scored four goals during the month, including a clinical effort against AmaZulu FC and a spectacular hat-trick against SuperSport United FC. Boyeli’s form has been a driving force behind Sekhukhune United’s continued success in the league, making him a standout performer.
Coach of the Month: Muhsin Ertugral
Recently appointed Cape Town City FC coach Muhsin Ertugral was named Coach of the Month after a stellar run of results. Under his leadership, the team secured three wins in four matches, including notable victories over Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. Ertugral outperformed strong contenders Lehlohonolo Seema of Sekhukhune United and Polokwane City’s Phuti Mohafe to claim the prestigious award.
Goal of the Month: Lucas Ribeiro Costa
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Lucas Ribeiro Costa earned the Goal of the Month accolade for his acrobatic strike against Magesi FC in Polokwane. The goal showcased Ribeiro’s technical skill and flair, edging out tough competition from Mfundo Vilakazi’s solo effort for Kaizer Chiefs and Devin Titus’ precise finish for Stellenbosch FC.
