Young Cassius Mailula continued his rich vein of scoring form when he scored one of the goals that secured Mamelodi Sundowns their ninth successive DStv Premiership victory when they beat rookies Richards Bay 2-0 at the Kings Zwelithini Stadium in ...
Zwane, who was chosen as man-of-the-match, could have opened the scoring early in the game but saw his shot blocked by Magoola when Sundowns managed to breach the home side's defensive line.
Bay registered only one scoring chance in the first half and even that was not on target while Sundowns had five chances on target out of 10 attempts they created in the opening half. The home side were far better in the second half and unlucky to be denied a clear penalty to get a consolation at the death when Sundowns defender Mothobi Mvala hacked substitute striker Yanela Mbuthuma inside the area.
In total, Sundowns have amassed 37 points after completing the first half of the season against the KwaZulu-Natal side at a rain-soaked Umlazi venue. Bay remain third after suffering their third defeat of the season but will have to up their attacking momentum in the second half of the season if they're to finish inside the top half in what has been already a commendable debut season in the top flight.
