The Golden Lions dominated for another week against St. Mungo, extending our winning streak to 4 and are now tied for second place in the table. We welcome Bastille to the Calabash for game two of the homestand, and they're fighting to make into the playoffs being just a game behind the final spot. Our offense has been excellent in the winning streak, with Gabriel putting in a header and Bruno G. knocking in two, Odegaard being an excellent set-up man, and featured player of the week F Danny Welbeck assisting once and creating another chance in our offensive domination over St. Mungo. We're looking to keep the win streak alive to keep climbing to the top. #StayGold

And with our 5th straight win, Joburg are now just 3 points outside of the top spot in the table. Our win over Bastille continued our 4 game streak of doubling our opponent's score, as Ollie Watkins scored twice, Danny Welbeck and Martin Odegaard each scored once, and featured player F Chiedozie Ogbene scored his third goal of the year to shut down Bastille. In a first for a featured player, he'll get the week off after playing two games in a matchweek (don't ask us the logistics on this alright). Our next stretch of games will not be easy, as our next three matches we'll be facing teams in the top 5 in the table. The first challenge is against Amsterdam, who are also within striking distance of the top spot. We're looking to extend the winning streak and keep pace with the top of the table. #StayGold

With a big win over Atlético Barcelona, Eye of the Sun is on the upswing. We look to keep our momentum up as we continue our homestand and welcome London Public to the Pyramid. We're going to have to stop them from stealing a win and displaying it in one of their museums, like so many other artifacts. We'll be in the main uniforms for this one, and are featuring young Ivorian forward David Datro Fofana! #TheGoldStandard

It wasn't the domination that we had in past weeks, but the Golden Lions still came out and put Amsterdam in their place. F Ollie Watkins set the tone immediately, scoring a goal just 4 minutes into the match. Featured player F Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored the game-deciding goal late in the game, and proved to be enough to put us on top. And with our abysmal start to our year, Joburg is now tied for the top of the league. In the last game of the homestand, we will fight for the top of the table with the current points leader - Independencia. This will be one of the biggest matches all year, and all eyes will be on us for would could be a regular-season title decider. #StayGold
