The former Orlando Pirates midfield maestro produced a Man of the Match performance against Abafana Bes'thende
Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has disclosed that handing Andile Jali the club captain's armband was a difficult decision on Tuesday night.
The experienced central midfielder led Masandawana to a 3-0 victory over Lamontville Golden Arrows in the MTN8 semi-final second-leg clash and the Tshwane giants advanced to the final after winning the tie 4-1 on aggregate.
Masandawana were without Ricardo Nascimento, Denis Onyango, Rivaldo Coetzee, and Mosa Lebusa, who usually captain the reigning PSL champions so Jali captained the team in their absence at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
