By Though Mamelodi Sundowns won the game against Royal AM last night at Loftus Versfeld Stadium; their game was short of impressive compared to last season’s performance.

The Brazilians maintained their 1-0 lead throughout the first half; on the other hand, Royal AM kept searching for an equaliser but ran out of time.
The teams went to break with Sundowns in the lead.
In the second, though their play was not impressive, Khuliso Mdau managed to extend the lead for the Brazilians on the 85th minute. But Royal AM still had some fighting power left in them and it paid off as they pulled one back through Sbangani Zulu on 90+2.
Mamelodi Sundowns won the game 2-1.
