AmaZulu's Nkosikhona Radebe and Mamelodi Sundowns' Themba Zwane fights for the ball during their Betway Premiership match.
Mamelodi Sundowns’ attacking unit proved ruthless in front of goal once they found their rhythm, though their defence remained leaky in a 5–2 Betway Premiership win over AmaZulu at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday night.
Despite defensive blemishes, the victory ensured Sundowns maintained an unbeaten start to the league season. They move joint-top of the standings on 10 points alongside Orlando Pirates, whom they aim to dethrone this season.
Coach Miguel Cardoso will be hard at work in training over the next few days fixing the team’s defensive mistakes. He knows they will need clinical finishing and a clean sheet to overturn a 1–0 deficit in their MTN8 semi-final second leg against Golden Arrows on Sunday afternoon.
For coach Arthur Zwane, the result will sting. Sundowns opened doors for AmaZulu to score, but lapses in concentration and poor organisation at the back left Usuthu on the receiving end of a heavy early-season defeat.
