Miguel Cardoso: Lucas Ribeiro Costa Deserves PSL Player of the Season Award

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has come out in strong support of Lucas Ribeiro Costa to win the 2024/25 PSL Player of the Season award. According to Cardoso, the Brazilian forward has been outstanding all season and has played a huge role in the club’s success.

Incredible Stats and Game-Changing Performances

Ribeiro Costa has made a big impact in the Premier Soccer League, with 20 goal contributions (goals and assists) in just 24 league games. His ability to score, assist, and help teammates shine has made him one of the top players this season.

“He’s a killer in front of goal and a generous teammate too,” said Cardoso. “It’s not just about numbers – he lifts the whole team.”

Big Moments in Big Games

Between December and February, Ribeiro Costa was at his best. He scored five goals and gave four assists during this time. His most memorable performance came against Orlando Pirates, where he scored two goals and gave one assist in a single match.

These kinds of performances show he is a big-game player who delivers when it matters most.

More Than Just Stats

Coach Cardoso explained that Lucas does more than just score goals. He pushes his teammates to do better and sets a high standard for everyone around him.

“People look at the goals, but they miss how much he inspires the team. He’s consistent, smart, and full of quality,” said Cardoso.

Clear Favourite for the Top Award

With the season almost over, many believe that Ribeiro Costa should be the PSL Player of the Season. His contribution to Sundowns’ likely title win and the support of his coach makes him the top contender.

Injury Update: Ronwen Williams

Cardoso also shared good news about Ronwen Williams. The Sundowns captain missed their 3-0 win over Stellenbosch FC, but he is not seriously injured and is expected to return for the next match.
