Sundowns

Johannesburg - Mamelodi Sundowns' coach Rhulani Mokwena praised Lesedi Kapinga who impressed in their 3-2 win over Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup last 32 ...

I thought he could have scored one or two goals.” He’s a very good person as well. But he worked very, very hard, for the team. “He knows how much I like him as a footballer and human being. “I think he showed that he’s here. I'm very proud of him,” Mokwena said.

Star striker Peter Shalulile scored twice as Nedbank Cup defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns dominated Richards Bay to a 3-2 victory in their Round of 32 ...

Kapinga, aware of his surroundings, pounced and picked up the loose ball in Sundowns' box and curled it 15 yards out to a running Surprise Ralani. Still, Lesedi Kapinga latched on to the ball, and Shalulile collected it again before smartly dinking a sliding goalkeeper Salim Jamal Magoola for the opener. Mosa Lebusa also contributed to the scoresheet before Shalulile's second as Katleho Makateng netted a consolation goal for the visitors. However, the striker's first touch saw the ball ricochet off his thigh. A second goal for Sundowns nearly came through Sipho Mbule, who is yet to score for the Brazilians, through a stunning free-kick with Magoola stranded on his goal line, breathing a sigh of relief as the ball struck the upright. It was a good result."
