SUNDOWNS GO AHEAD

SUNDOWNS snatched a 3-1 win over lowly Santos through three goals at the Newlands cricket ground on Wednesday night. Striker David Notoane took the home side into the lead in the 66th minute but pulled a muscle doing so and was forced to leave the field. Sundowns super sub Kenny Niemach netted the leveler in the 83rd minute and four minutes later an in-form Joel Masilela scored from a goalmouth scramble. Niemach put the game beyond question with just two minutes of regulation play remaining, steering a cross from Lovers Mohlala past goalkeeper Mark Anderson.
