Frosler scored the opening goal in the game with a long-range effort. The win didn’t come as a surprise to many, as Kaizer Chiefs fans often joke about how they would vote for any Chiefs player nominated, no matter how simple the goal was.

The PSL announced the winner on their Twitter account, with a video of the strike.

Royal AM dominated the DStv Premiership Coach and the Player of the Month awards, Soccer Laduma reported. John Maduka took home the award for the best coach while Mxolisi Macuphu was named as the best player for February/ March.

This is the first time that Maduka has won the award. Maduka has been a head coach in the DStv Premiership since 2020.

Maduka edged out Dan Malesela (Marumo Gallants), Eric Tinkler (Cape Town City) and co-coaches, Manqoba Mnqgithi and Rhulani Mokwena (Mamelodi Sundowns) for the award. During the timeframe in which the awards were judged, Royal AM played five games, winning three and drawing two of them.

DStv Premiership Goal of the Month nominees for February and March announced as debate grows over popularity contests

The DStv Premiership Goals of the Month nominees for February and March have been announced. The Premier Soccer League released the list of 10 goals on its website, allowing fans to vote for their favourite net buster.

Unsurprisingly, controversy has already risen surrounding the goals that should or should not be on the nomination list, Sports Brief earlier reported. Kaizer Chiefs' supporters are notorious for voting for their players, no matter how easy the goal is

Reeve Frosler, who was nominated, opened the scoring in the Soweto Derby for the Amakhosi against Orlando Pirates with a pile-driver that almost burnt off goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane's fingers.
