4. Khuliso Mudau, Mamelodi Sundowns vs TS Galaxy

Khuliso Mudau set the Brazilians on their way to a 3-0 victory of TS Galaxy in Nelspruit with a fantastic curling shot which gave the goalkeeper no chance to save it.

5. Haashim Domingo, Mamelodi Sundowns vs TS Galaxy

Haashim Domingo somewhat stole his teammate's thunderbolt with an even better strike than Mudau's in the same match to seal all three points.

6. Lyle Lakay, Mamelodi Sundowns vs Baroka FC

Lyle Lakay's sweetly-struck free-kick against Baroka FC continued Sundowns' dominance of the nomination list. Interestingly, Richard Mbulu's equaliser in the same game - one of the best hits you'll ever see - did not get nominated.

7. Friday Samu, Maritzburg United vs SuperSport United
