Mailula shines as Sundowns hand La Passe another pasting (Citizen)

Sundowns' young striker Cassius Mailula added a spark to a comatose Caf Champions League tie on Friday, netting his first two senior goals.

Mussard had an excellent first half in general, saving well from Marcelo Allende, and twice from Mailula. And the 21 year-old completed a brace on the stroke of half time, chesting in from close range. And it took them under eight minutes to take the lead, as Gaston Sirino crossed, and Thapelo Morena had all the time in the world to control the ball on his chest and slot it past Dave Mussard in the La Passe goal.
