Mamelodi Sundowns FC battled to a 3-2 win over TS Galaxy in the Premier Soccer League outing. Brayan Leon opened the score for Downs, before Victor Letsoalo and an own goal by Ronwen Williams had turned the game on its head. But Mkhulise netted in the 88th and 93rd minute for Masandawana.
Why Pitso Deserved MOTM Award
Coach Miguel Cardoso has explained why Pitso Mkhulise deserved the Man of the Match Award as opposed to Victor Letsoalo of the Rockets. “Sorry by all the work Letsoalo did but I think today, [but] the Man of the Match would very deservedly be Pitso Mkhulise by what he means for the club for us,” he told reporters.
Steve Barker Opens Up About Facing Ex-Sundowns Coach
Steve Barker says he is relishing the prospect of facing fellow South African Manqoba Mngqithi when Simba SC take on Young Africans in Wednesday’s Community Shield clash. The highly anticipated Kariakoo Derby takes place this week in what is the first piece of silverware of the new Tanzanian season at stake.

Barker also suggested that Mngqithi is under pressure after Yanga’s heavy investment in the transfer window. “I do believe coach Mngqithi and his coaching staff are under some immense pressure in terms of the amount of resources that were spent in this window to achieve success,” the former Stellenbosch coach added.
