But that was catastrophic as he sustained a concussion. With the progression of the second half, the Rockets started to see more of the ball. Early in the second half, though, Sirino had a chance to double that tally after a cut-back from Thapelo Morena in front of goal, but he ballooned his shot. The Bafana Bafana third choice was subsequently replaced by Vasilije Kolak who was making his third appearance in a row and first from the bench. After setting a record in the local top-flight, becoming the first team to win 12 league games in a row last week, Sundowns wanted to scratch more surfaces.
