Even though they were a thousand kilometres away in Khartoum minding their Caf Champions League business, Mamelodi Sundowns were the main story here in Soweto.
For Pirates, this narrow victory has significantly refreshed their hopes for a second spot finish, that comes with Champions League football, as they trail SuperSport by two points after the same number of games.For SuperSport, pressure is back on them as they have loosened their grip on second spot and are going to be under pressure from Pirates, SuperSport, Kaizer Chiefs, Cape Town City, Richards Bay and Stellenbosch.
Coach Hunt also made two changes with Gamphani Lungu coming on for Neo Rapoo in the midfield and Bradely Grobler replacing Thamsanqa Gabuza upfront.but he did not come back to haunt them as he was not at his best on the night.It came as no surprise when Lepasa was pulled off the field just after the hour mark to be replaced by veteran Onismor Bhasera, a move that suggested that Hunt wanted to solidify his defence.
