Kekana, Manyama, Nurkovic makes final cut for Absa Premiership Goal of the Season
The Premier Soccer League have announced that Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana and Kaizer Chiefs duo Lebogang Manyama and Samir Nurkovic are the three finalists for the 2019-20 Absa Premiership Goal of the Season.
Kekana was nominated after the Sundowns captain grabbed the first Goal of the Month award for the season with this trademark long-range strike against Cape Town City.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
