Maboe needs support and not boos - Ngcongca backs struggling Mamelodi Sundowns teammate

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Anele Ngcongca says that he does not understand why fans are not patient with forward Lebohang Maboe.

In his second season at Chloorkop, Maboe has managed just a goal in 17 Premier Soccer League (PSL) appearances and none in Cup games so far this season, a record that has not impressed Sundowns supporters.

This comes after he scored eight league goals and once in the Caf Champions League in his debut season with the Brazilians, missing just three PSL games after arriving from Maritzburg United.

But having also featured in seven Champions League matches this term in which he has struggled to find the back of the net, Maboe still needs support, according to his teammate Ngcongca.
