Pule Maraisane made a second appearance for new Swedish side Gais on Sunday, helping them to a 4-1 victory over Mjallby.

The national under-20 star has settled in well to life in Sweden and is now looking to build his match fitness after two months out of the game while he waited for the right paperwork to begin life at Gais.

The well-travelled Maraisane was previously at Tourizense in Portugal and has also spent time in Brazil, so adjusting to life away from home has been easier for the 20-year-old.

His next goal will be to win a starting berth at a club who are excited about his ability to help them gain promotion this season.

That first start could come tomorrow when Gais travel to Syrianska.

Ayanda Nkili was a second-half substitute for top-flight side Orebro, who twice let a lead slip to draw 2-2 with second-placed Elfsborg.

After their horror start to the season, Orebro have netted seven points from a possible nine in their last three games.

Lebogang Phiri continued his fine finish to the Danish league season as he helped Brondby to a 1-1 draw at Randers. They are assured of third place in the league as they host Esbjerg in Sunday's final match of the campaign.

Former Bafana Bafana left back Ricardo Nunes played for Polish side Pogon Szczecin in their 1-0 defeat at Lech Poznan.
