Cape Town City striker Wayde Lekay would love to get his maiden goal this weekend - and he reckons scoring against former club TS Galaxy is as good a time as any.
With the Citizens down in 12th place in the PSL standings with just five points from six games, new arrival Lekay says victory is all that matters.
But getting one over the club that released him at the end of last season would make it extra sweet for the Capetonan.

He says: āI wanted to come in and create and score goals.
āIām always keen to get off the mark. And why not [against Galaxy].
āItās the next game and we need goals. Iām excited.
āBut I try to leave those emotions aside. Itās about the team and I want to contribute 100 percent.ā
Sights set on Galaxy! š

Tinkler says of the challenge against unbeaten fifth-placed Galaxy: āTheyāve had a pretty good start, even beating Mamelodi Sundowns.
āBut we have to continue to believe in what we have been doing.ā
