Sports Brief compiles the November 26 match weekend Team of the Week.

Vasilije Kolak and Hugo Nyame were both inspirational for TS Galaxy and Royal AM, respectively, but Sage Stephens gets the nod in between the sticks for his penalty save and a subsequent clean sheet for Stellenbosch FC.

Ayanda Jiyane in a fluid Royal AM backline was creative going forward and defensively solid while Amakhosi's Spiwe Msimango protected his goalkeeper with composure and discipline.

Cape Town City's captain, Keanu Cupido was impenetrable as an interchangeable right-back and Mpho Mvelase was impervious at left-back, adding a goal with his head.

Taahir Goedman kept a quality Golden Arrows midfield quiet while Yusuf Maart put in the best midfield performance of the weekend.

The Chiefs captain dominated Lantshane Phalane and an ageing Andile Jali to ensure Swallows had no bite, leaving their attacks without rhythm. Maart was the key orchestrator, supplying the pass that ended Swallows' hopes.

Behind the strikers, Higor Vidal was unplayable as he earned the Man of the Match award against a Polokwane City still reeling from losing Lehlohonolo Seema.

Out wide, Royal AM's Menzi Masuku put in the performance of the wingers, grabbing an assist and a goal against a Cape Town Spurs team that plays much better than their log position suggests.

On the other flank, Khanyisa Mayo was inventive through the middle or cutting from the touchline but his scrambled goal may be awarded to Arrows' Brandon Heron.

No single centre forward laid claim to the frontman spot but Samir Nurkovic's cameo provided the finish of the weekend with an acrobatic front post overhead kick in injury time to put the gloss on a fine performance by Sead Ramovic's team.
