DStv Diski Challenge season review

Evangelos Vellios worked his magic to guide Stellenbosch FC to their second DStv Diski Challenge title in a record-breaking campaign, with the Winelands-based outfit inspired by new signing Thulani Mini.

In the ninth season of the Diski Challenge League, Stellenbosch claimed a massive 22 wins, the most by any team in the Diski Challenge history, to rack up 69 points, a new record in the league.

There were 773 goals scored, more than ever before, and a record of 22 players who made their debut in the Premier Soccer League while still playing in the Reserve League in what will go down as one of the wildest, most unpredictable, and most entertaining Diski Challenge seasons of all time.

It is worth noting that the title race was decided in the last 10 minutes of the match on the final day.

STELLENBOSCH IN DISKI HISTORY BOOK

Stellenbosch etched their name in the history book as they became the second team after Golden Arrows to win the Diski Challenge title since its establishment in 2014.

Despite stuttering at the start of the campaign, finding themselves as low as position 12 on the log, Stellies fought back when it mattered the most to climb their way to the top.

During that process, they defeated the likes of Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, who were all in the top four.

After matchday 17, they got a taste of being No 1 as they were top with 36 points, one ahead of Orlando Pirates, who had spent the most time at the top. Stellies spent one week at the top - they then reclaimed the No 1 spot after matchday 26, and from there, they never looked back as they went all the way to lift the title.
