The match remained anyone's game until the second half when Thabiso Kutumela found Peter Shalulile who put the Sundowns into the lead with a goal.

Shalulile secured the Sundowns lead in the 71st minute after Lyle Lakay sent him the ball.

The Pirates never gave up but were unable to put any numbers on the scoreboard.

Andile Jali was awarded Man of the Match for his outstanding performance.

@Dwabaman_ZA:

"Almost all man of the match awards are shared by Rivaldo Coetzee and Andile Jali.
Safe to say 4-2-4 is the norm going forward. Hansi's bayern?Face with hand over mouth Anyone to stop us? Lord may you please bless us with CAF. Amen."

@Thvto_M:

"Can't even troll Pirates with that scoreline because we might lose to Marumo later on... #KaizerChiefs #DStvPrem #Sundowns."

@Wayne75567695:

"We cried for Victor Letsaolo, they didn't want to listen . We cried for a proper no.6, they said we are covered. Nange and Nurkovic out, it means Parker and Agay are coming in. Yhoooo!!! Yini Nkosi ekuseni kangaka. #Sundowns #Chiefs #Amakhosi4life."

@general_mphoski:

"It was a friendly reminder to @OfficialPSL Chairman that he should grant us our tenth title star or else, his club shall continue to suffer for his cardinal sin at the brutality of @Masandawana …Oh boy!!!#Sundowns #Tenthtitlestar."

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates Preview: 3 Points needed for both clubs

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates will be facing off in the DStv Premiership this weekend. The encounter will be a mouthwatering one, as both clubs form part of the "big three" in South African football.

Currently, Mamelodi Sundowns have not lost any matches in the league and will be looking to build from there. Orlando Pirates, however, are coming off the back of a convincing win against Chippa United, so it's not going to be easy for Sundowns.
