After an entertaining opening 45 minutes, Mamelodi Sundowns enter the halftime break leading Sekhukhune United by one goal at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. Team News ▶️
Masandawana handed new signing Lucas Ribeiro Costa a debut and featured the other new boys like Thapelo Maseko ad Junior Mendieta on the substitutes bench.
A dominant start from the title holders followed over ten minutes played whereby a hand-ball in the area led to a penalty and Peter Shalulile did the honours from 12-yards out to make it 1-0 to Sundowns. It continued to go downhill for Babina Noko five minutes later as a rash challenge on Teboho Mokoena by Vusimuzi Mncube saw the referee hand the latter a red card.
Ribeiro Costa went close to double their tally before the half-hour mark from a twist and turn in the area, but he couldn’t get the better of Badra Ali Sangare. Sekhukhune continued to chase shadows and were under threat again as a curling shot on the edge of the area by Marcelo Allende narrowly shaved the bottom-corner on the stroke of halftime.
