Warriors attacking midfielder Kudakwashe Mahachi bagged his first Absa Premiership man of the match accolade after inspiring Lamontville Golden Arrows to a 1-0 victory over SuperSport United on Sunday.

The 24-year-old also grabbed the only goal of the match, tapping in a rebound from close range after SuperSport goalkeeper Reyaad Pieterse had initially denied Danny VenterMahachi took to Instagram to celebrate his first man of the match award saying: “I don’t know how to thank him. He is always good to me #Team papa God#God is great all the times #Great win team Arrows.”

Having spent three seasons with Golden Arrows, Mahachi has been one of the mainstays of Abafana Bes’thende this season.

The skilful winger initially left the country in 2014 to join Pretoria giants Mamelodi Sundowns, having impressed coach Pitso Mosimane.
