Once again,
we bring you the silly stats after 13 rounds of the Premier Soccer League. 208 games played, 272 remaining (this is
going to go by fast and if you not looking)
What I like
about this league so far, is the consistency we observe, all the teams are
playing the same amount of games (unlike before where some teams would be 5
games behind).
So, where
do we start? First league win or loss???
Guess for
the hype, we could talk about the first loss… SuperSport United hitting the
brakes hard!!! Ellis Park nickname that the “Ghosts” gave should move to Orlando … (House of Pain),
SuperSport did not see what hit them (Orlando
Pirates 3-0 SuperSport United), all they know is, and it was
painful. But then again, all they have to do is focus on winning the games that
they need to win as they are still in the driving seat.
Jomo (Jomo
Cosmos coach and owner) done did it in style; the first goal is worth a
mention… what a sublime skill to cool tuck it nicely in the top right corner… I
yearn for such goals on a regular (Jomo Cosmos 2-1 Platinum Stars).
- 240 goals scored in 208 games
(1.15 per game)
- 7 out of 16 teams are scoring
above average)
- 6 out of 16 are conceding below
the conceding average
Mamelodi Sundowns
scores more goals than everyone at 10.42% of all goals scored.
Some teams
in the top half are conceding @ an alarming rate, either there is little
defense, (16, 18 and 15).
Defensive
kingpins are SuperSport United, Free State Stars, Kaizer Chiefs, and AmaZulu
with 9 conceded so far.
Enjoy!!!
