Mamelodi Sundowns opened a three-point gap at the top of the Betway Premiership standings after a dramatic 2-0 victory over Sekhukhune United at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday night.
Sundowns dominated possession throughout but were frustrated by Sekhukhune goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, who produced multiple crucial saves.
The deadlock was finally broken in stoppage time:
90’+1: Substitute Nuno Santos scored after being set up by Khuliso Mudau.
90’+4: Brayan Leon sealed the win, firing home after Leaner saved Peter Shalulile’s attempt.
Final Score: Sekhukhune United 0 – 2 Mamelodi Sundowns.
Sundowns: Now lead the league by three points, though Orlando Pirates remain close behind with two games in hand.
Sekhukhune United: Stay in 5th place, three points behind Pirates, but with three extra matches played.
Sundowns: Travel to Rwanda to face Al Hilal Omdurman in the CAF Champions League on Friday.
Sekhukhune United: Head to Mpumalanga to take on TS Galaxy in their next league encounter on Sunday.
Sundowns showed championship resilience, striking late to secure victory and strengthen their grip on the Premiership title race, while Sekhukhune’s missed chances and Leaner’s heroics weren’t enough to stop Masandawana’s relentless push.
