Mamelodi Sundowns cruise past Marumo Gallants, but suffer Khuliso Mudau injury blow
Cassius Mailula’s dream return to Mamelodi Sundowns continued, with the forward’s third goal in four matches sealing a comfortable 2-0 victory for the CAF champions over Marumo Gallants at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday evening.
Mamelodi Sundowns secured a 2-0 victory over Marumo Gallants at Loftus Versfeld, but the triumph was marred by an injury to key player Khuliso Mudau. The CAF champions' forward, Cassius Mailula, scored the opening goal in the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Gallants. The home team dominated possession and territory, with midfielder Fawaaz Basadien impressing in his first appearance of the season.
However, Gallants' debutant goalkeeper Emile Lako had a difficult night, making a costly error that allowed Mailula to score. Despite missing multiple chances, Sundowns' dominance ultimately paid off, with Mailula sealing the win with his second goal of the season. The result leaves the Gallants reeling, as they suffered a heavy blow with the injury to Mudau and a 2-0 defeat to their CAF rivals.
