DOWNS BEAT AMAZULU 1-0

AMAZULU edge closer to relagation after being beaten 1-0 by Sundowns in their Premier Soccer League match at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Wednesday night. Sundowns had to start the game without a number of key players, and their first-half efforts were somewhat pedestrian, and the half-time score was 0-0. The defending champions went into the lead in the 57th minute when Themba Mnguni crossed into the penalty area and Daniel Mudau made no mistake in slamming the ball home. Despite AmaZulu’s efforts they could not equalise, mainly due to poor finishing and strong defence.
