Tebogo Mokoena strikes late as Mamelodi Sundowns beat Golden Arrows
Teboho Mokoena scored in the 88th minute as Mamelodi Sundowns beat Golden Arrows 2-1 at King Zwelithini Stadium.
Mamelodi Sundowns secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Golden Arrows at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday, with Tebogo Mokoena netting the winning goal late in the match. Siyanda Ndlovu opened the scoring for Sundowns in the 14th minute, giving the defending champions the early advantage. However, Junior Dion equalized for Arrows in the 76th minute, keeping Arrows in the game and sparking a tense finish.
Despite Arrows' persistent attacks, Sundowns showed their quality when it mattered most, eventually sealing the win with Mokoena's decisive strike in the 88th minute. The victory moved Sundowns three points clear of league leaders Orlando Pirates in the Betway Premiership standings. Arrows, who had previously frustrated Sundowns in recent MTN8 meetings, will now have a full week to rest and recover before their next match against Siwelele FC on Sunday.
