Having already secured the title, Mamelodi Sundowns ground out a workmanlike win over Sekhukhune in their DStv Premiership clash at Ellis Park on Tuesday.

As the second half wore on, Sundowns managed a few scoring chances, but the best was an effort by Namibian Peter Shalulile who came agonizingly close six minutes from the end. His cross was met by Sekhukhune shipper Yusuf Maart who skied his part shot after the Sundowns defence left him unmarked on the fringe of the penalty area. It was a ripsnorter from fullback Aubrey Modiba whose shot from about 40m out whistled past Sekhukhune goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata in the 28th minute.

While Modiba rightly got the plaudits, Themba Zwane did the dirty work, collecting the ball from his backline, surging forward and losing a couple of defenders before passing the ball to Modiba, who had a look at Sekhukhune goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata before slamming an unstoppable shot past him. It was Aubrey Modiba who opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a wonderful long range effort, to net his third Sundowns goal since joining the champions elect from SuperSport United last season.

Sekhukhune looked sober on the ball and that was due to Willard Katsande coming on to control things in midfield.

Shonga, 19. Mobbie, 19. However, the Namibian was not to be denied in second-half stoppage time as he wrapped up the win with neat turn and finish in the box with the final kick of the game. Goal number 22 continued to evade Shalulile, who dragged a close-range effort wide of the mark with only Nsabata to beat with five minutes left on the clock. The hosts responded with a change for the final 30 minutes as Nkanyiso Madonsela made way for Kamohelo Dominic Sithole as they went in search of an equaliser. Sekhukhune did get some joy in the latter stages of the first half and managed to force Pieterse into action, with the Sundowns shot-stopper getting down to his left to keep out Kabwe's curling free-kick. While Sekhukhune struggled to make any forays into the opposition box, Sirino went close to pulling Sundowns on 20 minutes with a strike from the edge the box The change did not affect Sekhukhune's outlook too much as the Brazilians continued to dominate, although they barely troubled goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata for most of the half. While Sekhukhune threw on Prince Nxumalo for Chibuike Ohizu, Sundowns responded with a double change as Pule Maraisane got a rare appearance along with Divine Lunga. Shalulile, who is chasing down Mbesuma's record of 25 league goals, could have added to his 21 after the break but failed to steer his header on target from Maema cross. The Brazilians enjoyed most of the possession in the early stages despite the flurry of changes, but they should have been ahead on 13 minutes when Neo Maema was slipped down the left of the box before blazing over from close range. Sundowns would get their reward in the 27th minute as Aubrey Modiba picked up a pass from Zwane before rifling the ball into the far corner from around 25-yards out for his second goal in as many games.

Premier Soccer League has announced Royal AM as the winners of Q-Innovation Quarter Three as they beat Cape Town City to the accolade.

"For the first time ever, two clubs (Royal AM and Cape Town City) finished the eight-match quarter three block level on points and goal difference. "Royal AM Football Club have been confirmed as the DStv Premiership Q-Innovation Quarter Three Winners," a league statement read. For the first time since the award was introduced in the 2012/13 season, two clubs finished the eight-match quarter three-block level on points and goal difference.

Royal AM defender Ricardo Nascimento has revealed that his fellow South American player Gaston Sirino is still eager to leave newly crowned PSL champions ...

Al Ahly and Sundowns held talks over the Uruguayan's services, but the two clubs failed to reach an agreement over the transfer fee and Sirino had to stay put at the Chloorkop-based giants. An experienced player who has turned out for Bolivian giants Club Bolivar, Sirino has made 12 PSL appearances in the current season for Masandawana and scored two goals in the process. In December 2020, Sirino handed in his transfer request in order for the Tshwane giants to allow him to join Egyptian giants Al Ahly where he would have reunited with his former coach at Downs, Pitso Mosimane.

If there is anyone who gets a lot of criticism in the Sundowns team, it has to be Lebohang Maboe who has taken a lot of stick on social media.

If you count his high intensity runs in a match, you will understand how important he is in our playing concept.” “He is a very intelligent player and he has the willingness to be deployed wherever because other players have an attitude when you play them out of position. We knew that we wanted to use Lebo as a central midfielder because his physical and technical attributes match the position.
