Sundowns have stayed in touch with log leaders after a resounding victory over Black Leopards.
|||Braces from Nyasha Mushekwi and Katlego Mphela set up a resounding 5-1 win for Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria on Saturday.
With this confident performance the hosts stayed in touch with the Premiership log leaders, settling into fourth place in the standings.
Leopards, meanwhile, stretched their winless streak to six league matches as they remained entrenched in the relegation zone.
Mushekwi got the ball rolling for Downs, connecting with a cross from Elias Pelembe in the 10th minute, but he sent his header wide.
The visitors did little to trouble the Sundowns defence, but Rodney Ramagalela had a good chance in the dying stages of the first half which was kept out by goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands.
The home side, after dominating for most of the opening period, were eventually rewarded on the stroke of half-time when a clever chip from Mushekwi gave them a 1-0 advantage at the break.
Downs again threatened shortly after the restart when Tsholofelo Modise drew a superb save from Azwindini Maphaha, who had replaced Posnett Osmony minutes earlier in the Leopards goal.
Ramagalela had another opportunity to level the scores but again his effort was wayward as his header sailed wide.
Mushekwi struck with his second goal with half an hour left, kick-starting an onslaught from the hosts after he latched onto a Modise corner to extend the lead.
Having got his team in a dominant position, Mushekwi was replaced a minute later by Mphela, and the tactical move paid off almost immediately as Mphela fired in an effort shortly after running onto the park.
Khethokwakhe Masuku scored a consolation goal for Leopards with five minutes left, but Richard Heynekane hit back for Downs two minutes later, and Mphela netted his second with a header in injury time to make sure. – Sapa
