Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, George Maluleka’s spectacular goal for Kaizer Chiefs against SuperSport United has been voted the best goal for December.
Voting for each month can only be done once all the fixtures are completed. Members of the public then have three to four weeks to vote for the goal of their choice on www.PSL.co.za.
The central midfielder, who was captain on the day, produced a superb strike on the edge of the 18-yard area after a pass from Kabelo Mahlasela, a goal which saw Chiefs win 1-0 over United. The 30-year old’s goal ensured that he became the first Amakhosi player to win the award this season and will be the first individual monthly award for Maluleka, who’s also had stints at United and Ajax Cape Town.
Maluleka’s strike was one of ten goals nominated for the award, alongside Bradley Ralani, Lebohang Maboe, Jemondre Dickens, Tshwarelo Bereng, Rhulani Manzini, Salulani Phiri, Thembinkosi Lorch, Kabelo Dlamini and Thabang Monare. The goal by Mido as Maluleka is affectionately known, was voted for by fans who picked their favourite via the Premier Soccer League (PSL) website.
Football supporters are encouraged to continue voting for their Absa Premiership Goal of the Month award by visiting the PSL website. The winning monthly goal will be selected from the online votes cast by supporters who will pick their favourite goal. The December fan winner was Mzomuhle Mbatha from Randfontein who won himself a Kaizer Chiefs Jersey.
Proud sponsors of the Absa Premiership, Absa, continues to reward football supporters that vote for the winning goal during the 2018/19 campaign. Every month, one lucky fan will win a jersey of their favourite Absa Premiership club. The winning fan will be selected through a random draw after voting for their favourite goal.
Each Absa Premiership Goal of the month will be on the list of goals that fans can vote for as the Absa-lutely Goal of the Season at the end of the season awards.
