Royal AM owner unhappy

Meanwhile, Royal AM owner Shauwn Mkhize is not happy.

MaMkhize gave an update on the status of goalkeeper Patrick Nyame, who was rendered comatose after a collision in the DStv Premiership match against SuperSport United.

Thwihli Thwahla lost the encounter 3-1 at the Lucas 'Masterpieces' Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville. She said in an Instagram post:

"The past two days have been very traumatic for the team and I. Our goalkeeper, Patrick Nyame suffered an almost life threatening head injury in our #DStvPremiership fixture against Supersport on Tuesday.
“I had to stay the whole night at the hospital completely forgotten about the loss all what I wanted was for him to wake up.”

Banda becomes first Zambian to score in Serie A

Sports Brief earlier reported that Lameck Banda recorded his name in the history books by becoming the first Zambian goalscorer in the history of the Italian Serie A.

The 21-year-old made history while playing for Lecce away at Sampdoria where he scored in the 83rd minute of his side's 2-0 win.

Apart from scoring, Banda was also impressive for Lecce in the encounter with his attacking ways in the midfield as he also contributed to the first goal scored in the game.
