Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Mangwanyana FC forward Phiwokwakhe \u2018Shalulile\u2019 Matsebula was named MulaSport National First Division Player of the Month for March.<\/b><\/p>\n

Matsebula\u2019s return of four goals and one assist in three matches proved instrumental in lifting his side from seventh to third place in the league standings.<\/p>\n

Matsebula\u2019s clinical finishing and consistent attacking threat made him one of the standout performers during the month.<\/p>\n

He found the back of the net in crucial fixtures, turning tight matches in Mangwanyana\u2019s favour and ensuring the team maintained strong momentum in the promotion race.<\/p>\n

His contributions went beyond scoring, as his movement, link-up play and creativity helped unlock defences and create opportunities for teammates.<\/p>\n

The striker\u2019s form has been key to Mangwanyana\u2019s improved results, with the side collecting valuable points that have strengthened their position in the league standings.<\/p>\n

The award highlights Matsebula\u2019s growing influence in the division, as he continues to establish himself as one of the league\u2019s most dangerous forwards. Mangwanyana FC will be hoping he maintains his form as the season progresses into its decisive stages.<\/p>\n

With confidence high, Matsebula is expected to play a major role in Mangwanyana\u2019s push for a strong finish, as the club eyes further improvement in the MulaSport National First Division.<\/p>\n
