Gamphani Lungu’s dramatic winner against Durban City has been voted Suzuki Goal of the Month for August and September.
The accolade underlines a fine start to life as a Buccaneer for the new recruit, who was also named the club’s first Player of the Month for the new season.
The stunning strike by the Zambian international decided a tightly-poised MTN8 quarter-final in front of a full house at Orlando Amstel Arena. With the contest looking destined for a penalty shootout, the home side were awarded a free kick in the final minute of extra time when Lungu produced a fine volley from the edge of the box to leave City goalkeeper Fredrick Asare rooted to the spot.
The goal sent the Bucs faithful into ruptures, sealing a dramatic 2-1 win which sent the Soweto Giants into the semifinals. It was the clear favourite in the list of 10 nominated goals, claiming 40% of the vote with Yanela Mbuthuma’s audacious chip against Kruger United the closest with 22%.
