ISundowns ibonise iPirates amabel’ enyoka eFNB Stadium!

IMamelodi Sundowns inike ithemba layo lokuphumelela indebe amandla amakhulu ngokuphumelela ngo-2-1 i-Orlando Stadium ekhokela iBetway Premiership eFNB Stadium ngoLwesithathu ngokuhlwa.

UKamogelo Sebelebele kunye noDeon Hotto babuyiselwe yiBuccaneers emva kokuphumelela uMarumo Gallants, ngelixa uNuno Santos wangena endaweni ka-Arthus Sales njengotshintsho olulodwa kwiMasandawana emva kokuphumelela kwabo ngo-2-0 iMC Alger ngoMgqibelo.

UHotto uphantse waziva ekhululekile kwimizuzu emihlanu edlulileyo xa wafika kwindawo leyo waza wafaka ishoti ejolise egoli, kodwa ukumiswa okumangalisayo kukaRonwen Williams kwagcina amanqaku elingana.

Umdlali weBafana Bafana waphinda wadlala kakuhle emva kwemizuzu emithandathu njengoko efike eposini ekufutshane waza wathintela intloko kaYanela Mbuthuma.

ISundowns yahlala izinzile emva kokuqala koloyiko yaza yabangela iingxaki kwiBuccaneers ngenxa yokubetha kukaBrayan Leon, uTashreeq Matthews kunye noSantos ngaphandle kwebhola.

Isebenze kakuhle imizuzu elishumi ngaphambi kwekhefu xa utshintsho lomdlalo lukaSantos lwakhulula uLeon egxalabeni lomdlali wokugqibela kwaye lo mdlali waseColombia wangena ekhoneni elisezantsi.

ULeon uphinde wakwenza oku emva kwemizuzu emine ngaphambi kokuba ixesha lokuphumla liqale emva kokuba ebethe uLebone Seema kwi-cross esezantsi ka-Aubrey Modiba waza wagqiba kwi-post ekufutshane ukuze agqibezele ii-brace zakhe.

Yayiyisiqalo esikhawulezileyo kwisiqingatha sesibini xa uMbuthuma wenza ukubaleka okukrelekrele kwindawo leyo waza wabetha ibhola ethe nkqo emva kwe-cross ka-Oswin Appollis.

Emva kwemizuzu embalwa, iBuccaneers yaphinda yasebenzisa ibhola ukuya kumda wendawo apho uPatrick Maswanganyi wasebenzisa kwaye wadubula uWilliams ngokujika ibhola.

Njengoko umdlalo udlale ngesantya esiphezulu, iBuccaneers yahlaziya indawo yayo kwaye yancama uMaswanganyi ukuze angenise uTshepang Moremi phakathi kwisigaba sesibini.

ISundowns iphantse yongeza igoli lesithathu emva komzuzu xa ikona kaModiba ifumene uKhulumani Ndamane, obethe igoli lakhe ngentloko phezulu kweplanga, unozinti uSipho Chaine ebethelwe kakuhle.

AmaBhakabhaka avavanya inqaku lokulinganisa kwaye aqhubela phambili kuhlaselo kwimizuzu yokugqibela.

Kodwa akakwazanga ukophula amaBrazilians akhusele ngamandla kwaye anika iPirates ukuphulukana kwayo okokuqala ngo-2026.
