Durban City turn to new signings to fix PSL 2026 scoring woes

Durban City are turning to new signings as they seek to address a slow start in the 2026 South African Premier Soccer League season. They sit 12th after three matches, with two points from a record of two draws and one defeat. The team has scored once and conceded twice.

The early results have left little room for separation in the table. Durban City have not won in the league so far, while their two points place them in the lower part of the standings after the opening three fixtures. Their attacking return is the clearest issue in the numbers, with only one goal across those matches.

Their recent results show a similar lack of regular scoring. Durban City drew 1-1 with Richards Bay before losing 1-0 to Amazulu. They then recorded successive goalless draws, away to Orlando Pirates and at home against Stellenbosch.

The latest result in the sequence was a 2-2 draw away at Siwelele. That match produced more goals than the three league fixtures recorded in the season data, but it still ended without a victory. The run includes four draws and one loss across the five listed matches, leaving the new arrivals with a clear task in the attack.

Durban City’s next fixture is away against Kruger United on 25 August 2026 in the South African Premier Soccer League. The match follows an opening stretch in which the side’s two points and one goal have kept it 12th in the table. The club’s decision to turn to new signings comes as it looks to improve that return.
