Sundowns in control

Goalkeeper Denis Onyango kept a fourth successive clean sheet and striker Thabiso Kutumela scored his first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns as the champions cruised to a 3-0 win over TS Galaxy on Sunday.

After a tepid first half where Galaxy showed resilience and solid defensive organisation at Loftus, centre-back Mosa Lebusa and Namibian hitman Peter Shalulile struck twice in two minutes to deflate Galaxy.

Kutumela came off the bench and opened his Sundowns account with six minutes remaining to put the final nail in Galaxy’s coffin.

Sundowns may have only scored six goals in their opening four matches but they have been stingy at the back and remain the only team in the Premiership yet to concede a goal. The win saw Sundowns regain the top spot on the Premiership log.

Supersport United barely raised a sweat as they beat Swallows 3-0 at Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday.

After a rather tight and goalless first half, the game opened up in the second with Jamie Webber converting a penalty on the hour.

Moments later, SuperSport scored again when Teboho Mokoena punished the home side and in the 70th minute, Thamsanqa Gabuza scored United’s second spot kick.
