Sundowns Beat Amazulu 1-nil, Pirates Thrash Gallants 8-1

Ten-man Mamelodi Sundowns registered a hard fought 1-nil win over Amazulu in a Betway Premiership match at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban. And Orlando Pirates thrashed Marumo Gallants 8-1 at the Orlando stadium.

Sundowns remain on top of the log by three points having played an extra match. Downs started the match looking to consolidate their position.

The Brazilians dominated ball possession and almost scored when Lucas Ribeiro teed up Khuliso Mudau in the box. But the Bafana Bafana right back fumbled his opportunity.

The defending PSL champions exerted more pressure looking for an early goal, but Aubrey Modibas shot was blocked by Ramahlwe Mphahlele.

And moments later, Sundowns were on the attack once again but Richard Ofori did well to save the shot. Sundowns had a free kick moments later, but Teboho Mokoenas shot went over the bar.
