What a terrible way for Sundowns to go out, but great to see that man Mabululu with the goal 🇦🇴
Mabululu scores the away goal, Sundowns have to score again or they will be out.
🎥 @SABC_Sport
Wrote a piece on substack about how hard the CAF Champions League is and I appreciate Sundowns for proving my point

Another game, another goal for Tolu Arokodare!
The Nigerian striker is quickly becoming a fans favourite in Ajax after his 8th goal in 13 games helped down Atalanta 🇳🇬

What a start to the Conference League it has been for debutants Sint Truiden!
The Canaries have won both of their games so far, with an impressive win away to Danish side FC Midtjylland yesterday ⬇️

After another victory in the Champions League last night, Club Brugge are up to 11th.
The defending Belgian champions blueprint for success is one that many non top 5 league clubs would love to emulate ⬇️

Everything Sir Jim Radcliffe touches in the world of sports ends up in a worse situation than before he turned up.

Anderlecht were one of two sides to suffer a cup upset this past weekend as they lost 2-1 to Beerschot.
However, head coach Vitor Bruno does not believe that this result signals a crisis within the club ⬇️

Start following leagues outside of the Top 5 🤷♂️

Ajax get their Conference League campaign started tonight away to Hadjuk Split.
After Feyenoord came close in 2021/2022, could the Amsterdam club become the first Dutch side to win it?

Fully expect Tresoldi to be part of the German squad for the 2028 Euros the way he is going. Club Brugge can sell him for plenty of € next summer.
Over the summer, Barcelona were linked to Club Brugge's young striker Nicolo Tresoldi.
Last night, the German scored a hat-trick as Club Brugge shocked Inter in the Champions League. After that performance, it won't just be Barcelona interested.

The Canaries will face Georgia side Iberia 1999 to begin their campaign. Certainly not the hardest game, and being at home, there will be some expectations that Sint Truiden can get off to a winning start ⬇️

On Thursday, the UEFA Conference League league phase kicks off 🇪🇺
For the first time in their 102 year history, Sint Truiden will be involved in a European competition. The closets they came previously was in 1999 after winning the League Cup.

After the international break, Antwerp were hoping to end a four game losing streak 🇧🇪
Instead, they lost 5-1 to Westerlo. The Great Old were playing Barcelona in the Champions League a few seasons ago, but those feel like very distant memories now ⬇️

Nigeria has so many good strikers, I can't think of any other African nation at the moment that has such depth up front?
Durosinmi is probably going to end up top scorer in the Belgian Pro League and could be on the outside looking in if the Super Eagles make AFCON 🇳🇬
🇳🇬On Saturday Tolu Arokodare scored his 7th goal of the season for Ajax. In just 10 games for the Amsterdam club he has more goals than he managed in 38 games for Wolves.

PEC Zwolle haven't won since the 22nd of August and after defeat to Cambuur at the weekend, head coach Henry van der Vegt is under immense pressure.
However, club captain Ryan Thomas has defended his head coach after yet another defeat ⬇️
