Mamelodi Sundowns have four of the leading five passers, statistically, in the 2023/24 DStv Premiership, with Teboho Mokoena leading the way.
The reigning PSL Footballer of the Season has become one of the most important figures in the Sundowns squad since his arrival from SuperSport United in January 2022, with a passing range and dynamism that’s transformed their midfield, attack and the way they bring the ball of defence.
It’s no surprise to see him with an average of 73.1 passes per 90 minutes this season with a pass completion rate of 87.6% and as the regista, who looks to spearhead attacks, it’s a staggering figure at this stage of the season.
His teammate, Rivaldo Coetzee, dubbed, the system in the ‘Stones Role’ this season, betters him in pass completion percentage at 91.8% but ‘Tebza’ is ahead of him in passes per game by 0.4.
Marcello Allende and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo of Orlando Pirates occupy positions three and four, while the top five are rounded off by midfielder-turned-centre-back Mothobi Mvala.
