Overview
- Peter Shalulile put Mamelodi Sundowns ahead in the first half before Orlando Pirates’ 20-year-old Camren Dansin leveled with a long-range volley.
- Dansin’s strike, described in reports as a Goal-of-the-Season contender, beat Ronwen Williams from outside the box after a corner was only partially cleared.
- Sundowns were without suspended midfielders Teboho Mokoena and Miguel Reisinho and injured trio Themba Zwane, Malibongwe Khoza and Kutlwano Lethlaku.
- Pirates welcomed fitness boosts with Sihle Nduli and Tshegofatso Mabasa available and right-back Deano van Rooyen back to full fitness.
- The result preserves Sundowns’ lead at the top on 22 points to Pirates’ 19, keeping the title race tight after an intense, nationally televised clash in Tshwane.
