Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes reached a record 21 assists for United in the top-flight this term when he laid on a goal for Patrick Dorgu in Sunday's 3-0 win at Brighton.
The goal scored by Teboho Mokoena for South African club Mamelodi Sundowns not only won the CAF Champions League final, but it could also ultimately be worth up to $20 million.
South Africa coach Hugo Broos will rely heavily on locals at the 2026 World Cup -- bucking a trend among African qualifiers to choose Europe-based players.
