Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has dedicated the club’s first win of the season in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday night to Jayden Adams, who passed away exactly a month ago. The Bafana Bafana star midfielder was found dead in an apartment in Cape Town soon after he had returned to South Africa from playing at the 2026 Fifa World Cup in Mexico, USA and Canada. The win has propelled Downs to number four on the PSL league standings after the first round of matches. “I am happy for my boys, I think they deserved to win,” Cardoso said on SuperSport TV after the match. “There’s also someone who deserves to be part of this victory, and that is Jayden Adams.
