Sundowns put pressure on Pirates, Chiefs drop points

Five minutes after the break, Iqraam Rayners was adjudged to have been fouled by Sekhukhune keeper Badra Sangare. Replays showed that the striker dived however the referee awarded the Brazilians a penalty.

Underfire R63 million-signing Arthur Sales made it 2-0 to give Sundowns the advantage. In the 90th minute, Thapelo Morena teed up Rayners who did well to hold the Ba Bina Noko defenders before scoring his first goal of the match.

Sundowns win, Chiefs squander win.

Amakhosi came into the clash looking for their second successive win following their impressive 2-1 win over Richards Bay midweek. Nasreddine Nabi‘s side were eyeing third spot in the Betway Premiership which would have put them at least eight points behind log leaders Orlando Pirates.

Two quick goals from Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba put Kaizer Chiefs ahead with Royal AM seeking answers. Amakhosi continued to pile pressure but could not find the third goal which would have sealed the match.
