Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns continue with their push to finish their PSL season in style when they host Stellenbosch FC at Tuks Stadium on Saturday.

Sundowns have shared the spoils in two of their last five games while they have won three others. Stellenbosch have enjoyed an impressive record of discipline in their last two games where none of their players was even yellow-carded. But they still want to avoid losing their next two games and finish the season in style since they have already won the league title.

Ashley du Preez found the back of the net twice as Stellenbosch FC blew champions Mamelodi Sundowns away at the Tuks Stadium in Tshwane.

They dominated possession, with Shalulile, who was in search of his 23rd league goal, posing the most threat for Stellies defence. Indeed, that was the case as the Brazilians surged forward in search of a goal that was going to bring them back into the game, but Stellies' defence, with the help of Stephens, stood firm. That goal forced the Brazilians to come out of their box as they went in hunt of an equaliser.
