Hat-Trick For Cardoso! Sundowns Boss Dominates While Appollis Sweeps Player Awards
The Betway Premiership Monthly Awards winners for April have been confirmed, with Miguel Cardoso and Oswin Appollis recognised for their outstanding performances.
Cardoso secured his third consecutive Betway Premiership Coach of the Month award after guiding Mamelodi Sundowns to an unbeaten run of three wins and two draws from five matches.
These results played a key role in strengthening their title charge, with the team ending April at the top of the table.
Cardoso edged strong competition from Orlando Pirates’ Abdeslam Ouaddou, as well as Kaizer Chiefs duo Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, who have shown improved form and consistency, guiding their side into the top three after winning three of their five fixtures during the month.
Pirates forward Appollis claimed his first Betway Premiership Player of the Month award following an impressive run of form.
Across four matches, the attacker recorded four goals and one assist, underlining his importance in Pirates’ title push.
Appollis also won the Goal of the Month award for his strike against AmaZulu at Orlando Stadium on 18 April. The goal highlighted his awareness and composure, as he created space before finishing calmly—already being recognised as one of the standout goals of the season.
