ICYMI: Mamelodi Sundowns drew level on points with Orlando Pirates at the top of the Premiership standings following a 3-2 win over Chippa United at Loftus Versfeld on Tuesday.

Mamelodi Sundowns drew level on points with Orlando Pirates at the top of the Premiership standings following a 3-2 win over Chippa United at Loftus Versfeld on Tuesday.

And with Wits still in the title hunt themselves, there could well still be a few twists and turns before the league ends on May 11. There was a chance for Sundowns as early as the third minute when Sirino’s cross picked out Mosa Lebusa at the back post, but his volley flew in to the side-netting. For their part, the Brazilians did not look at their sharpest – likely a result of being in the middle of a very intense domestic and continental fixture programme – and they lacked penetration and accuracy, as Kekana and Tebogo Langerman both fired shots well over the bar in an attempt to get back into the game.However, the hosts had other ideas as Kekana powered home a header from a Sirino free kick in the 43rd minute.

Sundowns down Chippa in five-goal thriller to keep Pirates in their sightsMamelodi Sundowns came from a goal down to beat Chippa United 3-2 at Loftus Versfeld on Tuesday afternoon and move level at the top of the Absa Premiership table‚ just behind leaders Orlando Pirates on goal difference. Their tactics are sometimes questionable though. Why do they have to keep Maboe on the field when he is clearly not effective. That guy was clearly tired and wasting opportunities, he is doing well for the team but if he doesn’t have a good game he must be substituted. A player like Tade could have scored those opportunities but is being sidelined, maybe because usually he doesn’t score in big games.
