The Argentine's high-profile move to Downs has turned into a nightmare as the midfielder finds himself completely frozen out of the first-team picture. Despite his heavy price tag, the creative spark is currently a spectator at Chloorkop with no immediate route back into the squad.

Predicting Sundowns XI to face Gomora - Under-pressure Cardoso to field Saleng and Zwane?

After a disappointing show in the CAF Champions League, Masandawana now focus on a domestic tournament. On paper, it is easy to predict a win for the Pretoria giants, but upsets always have a way of writing themselves in such encounters. This is a cup that has eluded the Premier Soccer League giants for some time now, and Downs would be keen to end the poor run that has stretched for three seasons.

The versatile midfielder was Amakhosi's transfer target before, but Masandawana decided to keep him although he has been struggling for game time. The Tshwane giants made sure they kept their quality stars in order to maintain their competitive edge and avoid strengthening their rivals by releasing their players to them. The Pretoria heavyweights have now been praised for keeping the midfielder by handing him a contract extension.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions have been working hard to ensure they retain their quality players. Masandawana are hoping to retain their South African top-flight crown despite winning it for the last eight seasons in a row. Furthermore, the Brazilians hope to make a statement in the Nedbank Cup as well as the CAF Champions League.

The Tshwane giants bounced back to winning ways and reclaimed Premier Soccer League top spot right on their return from the 2025 AFCON break with a result stating their intentions in their bid for a ninth straight title. Their Portuguese coach started what looked like a second-string side before throwing in familiar names in the second half. But they still managed to see off the challenge of their visitors from Limpopo.

After spending big and making several signings at the beginning of the current season, one feels the Soweto giants aren’t a million miles away from becoming solid challengers for the Premier Soccer League title. And that was evident when they started the campaign like a house on fire, putting together a solid run that saw them mentioned among the early contenders.

'Downs are boring! We wanted Santos, but they gave us Bruno Fernandes'

Although their display was not entirely convincing, Masandawana managed to collect crucial points in their CAF Champions League campaign. Starting with three points in a group that has heavyweights like Rhulani Mokwena's MC Alger and Sudanese giants Al Hilal should be considered an early achievement for Downs, who hope to go all the way to the final again. Nuno Santos, who is having a good start to life with the Tshwane giants, keeps proving why he was signed by the Brazilians, who wanted a player who would bring the X factor.
