With domestic league action returning in a week's time, the Kaizer Chiefs technical team will have to make a tough decision over the club's midfield following all that unfolded during the Home of Legends Cup.
Chiefs took part in the the inaugural Home of Legends Cup on Saturday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape.

The one-day tournament saw four teams - including Mamelodi Sundowns, Chippa United, and Golden Arrows - battle it out to claim honours, with Nasreddine Nabi's men coming out victorious in the end after edging out Sundowns on penalties in the final.
They were without head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who is recovering at home after recently undergoing a minor orthopaedic operation as confirmed by the club on their website.
The Glamour Boys were also without three players in Fiacre Ntwari, Rushwin Dortley, and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, all of whom are on international duty with Rwanda, Bafana Bafana and Botswana respectively.
In the last line of defence, both Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen got their chance, and it remains to be seen whether Ntwari will get to keep his spot between the sticks upon his return from international duty, having had an average start to life at Chiefs.
At centre-back, while Given Msimango started, Inacio Miguel dropped to the bench to make way for Zitha Kwinika in the first encounter against Abafana Bes'thende.
Msimango seems a sure starter for the Betway Premiership encounter against Richards Bay FC on 27 November, but who he will partner remains to be seen.
Pleasing, though, for the head coach will be that the side kept a clean sheet in both matches.
Nabi will also have some decisions to make on midfield.
All of Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi started both games, while Yusuf Maart got the nod only for the first fixture, with Nkosingiphile Ngcobo starting against Sundowns after scoring as a substitute in the earlier game.
Interestingly, there was no Gaston Sirino in the squad.

Up front, Ranga Chivaviro started from the bench in both ties with Ashley Du Preez starting on both occasions.
Pule Mmodi was also entrusted with a starting role on the wing.
Njabulo Blom, who has struggled with fitness issues so far this season, was another notable absentee from the squad, while Mduduzi Mdantsane started from the bench in both encounters.
The Home of Legends Cup exercise would have given the technical team an idea of what level the players are at and what improvement is still needed, with a number of players putting their hands up for a starting berth, most notably Vilakazi.
