Mamelodi Sundowns left it late to secure a dramatic 1-0 victory over Amazulu in the South African Premiership League, with star goalkeeper and Africa’s Best Goalkeeper of the Year, Ronwen Williams, receiving a red card. Despite being reduced to ten men in the 58th minute, Sundowns showed resilience and determination to clinch all three points.
The decisive moment came in the 90th minute when current league top scorer Iqraam Rayners found the back of the net with a precise finish. The goal was set up by an excellent assist from Teboho Mokoena, sealing a crucial win that keeps Sundowns at the summit of the league standings.
Williams’ dismissal occurred after he handled the ball outside his penalty area, leaving Sundowns to battle with a man disadvantage for over 30 minutes. However, the visitors refused to sit back and continued to press for a goal, demonstrating their championship mentality.
This hard-fought victory underscores Sundowns’ dominance and resilience as they aim to maintain their grip on the league title. The performance of Rayners, who continues to lead the scoring charts, further highlights the attacking prowess within the Sundowns squad.
