Sundowns Go Top of PSL Table After Defeating Sekhukhune United
Mamelodi Sundowns are back on top of the Betway Premiership after defeating Sekhukhune United at the Loftus Versfeld on Saturday evening.
The Brazilians were without a win in their last two matches. They lost to Magesi FC in the Carling Knockout Cup final before playing out a goalless draw against Congolese side Maniema Union in the CAF Champions League group stage opener.
An own goal in the first half, coupled with goals from Arthur Sales and Iqraam Rayners, gave the defending champions the deserved win over Sekhukhune United.

The Brazilians scored their first goal after Aubrey Modiba's cross was turned in by Tresor Yamba into his own net. The defending champions failed to score more goals before the half-time break.
