Overview
- Sundowns beat Golden Arrows 2-1 at King Zwelithini Stadium after Siyanda Ndlovu opened the scoring in the 14th minute, Junior Dion levelled around the 75th minute, and Teboho Mokoena struck from distance in the 88th minute.
- Ndlovu’s 14th‑minute goal was his first for Mamelodi Sundowns and came against his former club Golden Arrows.
- The result put Sundowns top of the Betway Premiership with 16 points from six matches while Orlando Pirates sit three points behind with a game in hand due to their CAF Champions League trip.
- The match featured a brief period when Sundowns played with 10 men after an injured substitute left the field, a phase Arrows used to create the equaliser in wet, overcast conditions.
- This was Sundowns’ second win over Golden Arrows in a week following their MTN8 meeting and reinforces Sundowns’ strong start to the season, increasing pressure on Pirates to win their extra fixture.
