Mshishi nets twice as gallant Sundowns draws with Maniema away
While they might not have been the well-oiled machine that we’ve come to know, but they still were no pushovers as they got their nose in front as early as the 9minute, thanks to their talisman Themba Zwane, who later completed his brace with about five minutes to go before full-time.
Maniema somehow managed to marginalize him by cutting off and intercepting most of the balls to the potent Namibian striker, which also frustrated his striking partner Pavol Safranko, as both forwards were starved of some action and forced to search deep for the ball. With little supply and action coming his way – as the match shifted into a cagey approach towards the latter stages of the second stanza – Downs coaches decided to withdraw Safranko and brought on Sibusiso Vilakazi in the last 15 minutes of the tie. Vilakazi’s first impression on the match was to look for a Shalulile who was on his bike.
The sides will lock horns again on Friday, October 22 in the capital city where Downs’ away goal might come in handy as they look to make into the group stages for the seventh season on the spin.
