Viewers on DStv and GOtv enjoyed another great weekend of football action, with the continuation of the 2019/20 Premier League, La Liga and Serie A campaigns.

 

While Sadio Mane has so often been the talisman for Premier League leaders Liverpool this season, this last weekend saw Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah step up in the Senegalese player’s absence and score a goal apiece as the Reds romped to a 3-0 win away to Bournemouth.

 

The goal was a particularly important one for Keita, who will hope to establish himself in the team’s line-up over the next few weeks when manager Jurgen Klopp will have to juggle commitments across the Premier League, Carabao Cup, UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and the FA Cup.

 

SuperSport viewers can next see Liverpool and their African stars in action on the night of Tuesday 10 December when they take on Salzburg away from home in a UEFA Champions League clash in which they are highly likely to secure their qualification for the next round. That match is LIVE on SuperSport Maximo 1 and SuperSport 3.

 

In La Liga, the African duo of Djene Dakonam and Allan Nyom continue to do great defensive work for Getafe, who won 1-0 away to Eibar on Sunday afternoon to climb to fifth place on the table – ahead of the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid and Valencia.

 

Dakonam and Nyom can next be seen in La Liga action by SuperSport viewers on Sunday 15 December when Real Valladolid visit the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, with the match LIVE on SuperSport Maximo 1, SuperSport Maximo 360, SuperSport 7 and SuperSport Select 4 Go.

 

The top Africans in Serie A were on show in the thrilling clash between Bologna and AC Milan at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Sunday night. Ivorian Franck Kessie and Algerian Ismael Bennacer were key men in the midfield as the Rossoneri claimed a 3-2 away win which lifted them into the top half of the table and eased some of the pressure on Stefano Pioli.

 

SuperSport viewers can see the pair marshal the engine room for Milan again next weekend when Sassuolo visit the San Siro on the afternoon of Sunday 15 December, with the match LIVE on SuperSport Maximo 2 and SuperSport 11.
