Mamelodi Sundowns had their minds on Saturday’s Nedbank Cup final and paid the price when Free State Stars thumped the defending Premier Soccer League champions 4-0 in the final league fixture of the season. Meanwhile, Santos ended in third position on the league table after beating Platinum Stars 1-0, and Orlando Pirates beat AmaZulu 4-1.
AmaZulu shocked Telkom Knockout champions Platinum Stars when they beat them 1-0 in a lukewarm game in front of 8 000 fans at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday. AmaZulu led 1-0 at half-time. The only goal of the match came in the 16th minute when Mpho Maleka beat Wyne Sunderland with a low shot after he received a neat pass from Dumisani Ngwenya.
