Cassius Mailula netted the game's only goal in a game where hooliganism reared its ugly head.
Pirates fans made it a habit to hurl objects onto the field whenever referee's decisions went against them. At last, Pirates coach Jose Riveiro gave veteran striker Ndumiso Mabena a run, introducing him for Miguel Timm in the 75th minute.
Netting his seventh DStv Premiership goal, Mailula didn't waste time as he put Sundowns in front as early as the sixth minute. The goal came after Pirates failed to clear their lines in the middle of the park with Themba Zwane outmuscling Goodman Mosele before teeing up Mailula. Sundowns right-back Khuliso Mudau found himself shielding his face with hands as the rowdy home fans pelted water bottles at him, assuming he was faking an injury to waste time when he was down midway through the second period. The Ghost also jeered at own keeper Sipho Chaine whenever he tried to do what modern keepers do, playing from the back, instructing him to play long balls.
