Mamelodi Sundowns Move to the Top
Mamelodi Sundowns reclaimed the top position in the Betway Premiership with a narrow 1-0 victory over AmaZulu, thanks to a late goal from Marcelo Allende. This match, held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, was crucial in the ongoing title race.
Impact on the Title Race
The result is significant as it places Sundowns and Orlando Pirates at the top of the league table, both with 38 points from 17 matches. However, Sundowns lead on goal difference, having scored 27 goals compared to Pirates’ 26. Kaizer Chiefs, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Stellenbosch FC, remain in fourth place with 30 points and face a critical Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates on Saturday.
What’s Next for the Teams
Kaizer Chiefs must secure a win against Pirates to keep their title hopes alive, as they have only one game in hand. Meanwhile, AmaZulu, currently fifth with 30 points, will look to improve their standing in the upcoming fixtures. The Soweto Derby promises to be a pivotal match, with both teams needing a strong performance to recover from recent setbacks.
