With Kaizer Chiefs suffering a 4-0 thumping to Tanzanian giants Young Africans SC, readers are having their say.
What's the story?
Following the encounter, Yanga coach Miguel Gamondi praised his team for their performance, adding that he loves his players which is one of the reasons he decided to stay at the club.
Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi, meanwhile, congratulated the opponents and explained that he has a crop of young players who are still learning the game.
Here's how the readers responded:
"Nabi FC must not use the old boys instead he should select his own new crop of young players and apply his tactics otherwise he's going to faint in front of the supporters," says Dignity constructors and cabinets makers.
"Nabi must buy a helmet," says Aubrey Aubrezee.
"I just Wish our Supporters are strong enough to take all the Jokes the opponents are making about our Team because it's going to be a long bumpy ride and we need to be patient with our Coach. It's the only pre-season game and we played better football against a very offensive and pressing side of Young Africans. Just last season we couldn't even make 10 passes consecutively but we were holding the ball much much better even passes were good just need to make a good final decision let's stick with our coach. Guys now we only need few good signings that's all," says Mzangwa Quallo Stofile
"If we pretend like there's no problem about the team we are fooling ourselves. When are we going to finish this building construction? Every season we keep on building but we never reach the finishing part. Because we don't want to buy experience and skills players (matured enough to win trophies)," says Innocent Mayimele.
"They are friends with Yanga but Yanga was not friendly to them," says Mawethu Hans.
"Chiefs don't need a quick-fix solution, they've become so desperate in trying to reclaim their yesteryear glory days, they need a strong rebuilding exercise, chopping and changing coaches is not going to help them. Well done to Young Africans they were a well organized side and and the took their chances giving chiefs no chance," says Moby Huni.
"We as Kaizer Chiefs fans, we are even laughing at ourselves," says Oar Abi LE.
"The Yanga we celebrate today was built by Nabi. I saw structure and identity in what chiefs were trying to do. I saw ball players trying to keep the ball. With confidence and more quality players we could see something different. By the way, I am a Sundowns fan. Just stating what I saw," says MPC Nyathi.
"In Nabi we believe! It was two Nabi teams playing each other," says Makuka Ipeleng Ivan.

Meanwhile, former Bafana Bafana star Linda "Mercedes Benz" Buthelezi sparked some considerable debate when he gave his verdict on who should be given the 'legend' title in South African football.
"A legend is somebody who behaved themselves in that environment, but in South Africa, we call anybody a legend," Buthelezi said.
Check out what readers made of his comments:
"Kanti What is a legend in football? Or do people have their own definition of what makes a player legendary? Some may argue that it's all about skill and talent, while others believe it's the impact a player has had on the sport as a whole. Regardless of the criteria, there is no denying that legends are those who leave a lasting legacy and are remembered long after they have retired from the game. Pule has left a lasting legacy in football through his incredible skill, dedication, and passion for the sport," says Kanye McKay.
"People must learn to differentiate between a legend and a former player," says Ozzie Cargo Sibanda.
"The word 'legend' is used very loosely in South African football, so I wouldn't get all hung up on it. We have plenty of former players who are paraded as legends even when they've achieved very little on the pitch," says Sibusiso Mthombheni.
"In all honesty in sports everyone who has represented the national team will retire as a Legend...Jabu Pule played for the national U20, U23 and the Senior National team, that's a legendary status by default. Also, he played for two biggest clubs in SA. Remember LEGEND doesn't necessarily mean the greatest of all time..." says Tebatso Maphopha.
"Mercedes is absolutely spot on. In SA, you play half a season or 3 games for a team and then you earn a legendary status. It's madness," says Bongani Mgubela.
"Well said; there's a difference between a legend and a veteran. Jabu Mahlangu, Junior Khanye, Skappie Malatsi, Steve Lekolea and company are all veterans!" says Thokozani Dlomo.
"Emotions aside, Buthelezi is right though. Even Mandla Masango is not a 'legend' by any stretch of the imagination," says MK Linda Dlamini.
"A legend is someone who leaves behind an unforgettable impression on others. They touch lives, they're remembered, they're cherished. There are all sorts of legends in this world – famous or not. Becoming one means finding your particular role, your calling, following it, and touching others around you," says Tshepo Thys Magane.
"Linda is right on this one, in RSA it seems like all former players are legends, I mean the other day I read an article that featured Andries Sebola and he was referred as a Bucs legend and yet in his heyday he never finished a 90 minutes game," says Mbuso Nxumalo.
