Romeo with a cracker of a start to his DStv Premiership season

Kermit Erasmus scored his first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend as Masandawana beat Kaizer Chiefs in the opening game of the 2020/21 season of the DSTV Premiership. The Bafana international was beaming with a smile and said that “I am happy to get off the mark, a good start for me, first game, first goal. I just want to keep adding to the tally and take it one game at a time. The league is a marathon, not a sprint as we all know and hopefully, we gel as a team and keep getting better”.

In the 2019/20 season, the Port Elizabeth born scored thirteen goals in twenty-five games. He made his Mamelodi Sundowns debut in the MTN 8 clash against Bloemfontein Celtic.

“Stats are important in the game and unfortunately, as a striker, you are judged by the number of goals you score and not by your performance. Scoring for me is important, it helps me contribute to the team and win games. I want to continue doing that, if not, I want to help where I am needed, assisting, defending, and in the attack”.

His debut goal for the Brazilians was topped off by a celebration and he said this to explain the dance. “The celebration was inspired by my nephew, I saw him doing his favourite dance and I told his father that I will do the dance when I score the first goal for Sundowns. When I was doing the celebration it felt good knowing that they were watching at home”.
