United’s first league win over Sundowns in the eleventh time of asking has propelled Kaitano Tembo’s team to fourth spot on the Absa Premiership standings with 43 points but most importantly it gave Pirates a significant advantage in the league title run-in.
Sundowns remain third where they are level on 44 points with second-placed Bidvest Wits and coach coach Pitso Mosimane will have to find a way of refreshing the team as they played their 45th match of the season in all competitions so far this season against SuperSport on Wednesday. Immediately after the Chippa clash, the Brazilians fly out to Morocco to take on Wydad Casablanca in the semi-final, first leg of the Caf Champions League on Friday where they will also be looking for a favourable result.
In this game, United took the lead on the half hour mark from when a header by unmarked defender Grant Kekana ricocheted off the upright into the net of Kennedy Mweene after he connected well with the corner kick from of Aubrey Modiba.
Hard to feel sorry for a club with that kind of squad AbsaPrem
