TONIGHT marks the halfway point of the 2022-23 PSL season, but a number of goalkeepers have already declared their candidacy for goalie of the year.
Often, goalkeepers do not receive the attention they deserve because the focus is on the goal scorers, despite the fact that their contribution is equally significant.
In this article, the South African website recognizes three PSL goalkeepers who have stood head and shoulders above the competition thus far in the current season.
Ronwen Williams of Mamelodi Sundowns during the 2022 MTN8 Semifinal between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns on October 1, 2022 at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
Ronwen Williams has played every minute of Mamelodi Sundowns’ 14 league games since his transfer from SuperSport United this season.
So far in the league, he has kept an astounding 10 clean sheets while conceding only five goals. He is tied with Richards Bay FC’s Salim Magoola.
Last Saturday, Richards Bay FC defeated Swallows FC 1-0, and Magoola became the first goalkeeper to record 10 shutouts in 14 games.
While both Magoola and Williams are difficult to defeat, Richards Bay FC have conceded six goals while Sundowns have surrendered only five.
Melusi Buthelezi has been performing so well for TS Galaxy over the past few months that he has been called up to play for Bafana Bafana.
Buthelezi has featured in 14 league games thus far, compiling an incredible eight clean sheets and surrendering only eight goals.
