Mamelodi Sundowns Player Ratings: Domingo and Mokoena a cut above the rest against Cape Town City

Kept a clean sheet in what was a good performance on his debut for Downs.


Williams caught the eye with positioning and his distribution while also pulling off two good saves in the closing stages of the game - keeping City at bay.

Solid at the back for his side.


However, Mudau didn't make his usual powerful overlapping runs as he was more concerned with stopping the hard-running Craig Martin which he did very well.

Improved after a poor first half performance as he was tormented by Khanyisa Mayo.

Modiba opened the scoring with a fabulous strike from a free-kick after the restart and the goal gave him some confidence which saw him neutralise Mayo.

Sundowns' best defender on the night.

Mandela positioned himself well and used his physicality to his advantage as he dominated in defence.

Looked shaky in the first half when City counterattacked.

However, Lebusa improved after the restart as he was able to make some vital interceptions and clearances when Sundowns were under pressure. 

Surprisingly started ahead of Andile Jali and he dazzled.

Mokoena put in a commanding performance in the middle of the park - dominating the midfield battle and he was deservedly named Man of the Match.

Imposed himself on the game.


Domingo carried his team forward with his incisive forward passes and his late runs into the hosts' box created problems for City. He was involved in the build-up to both goals and he grabbed an assist.

Neutralised by the City defence in the first half.

However, Zwane burst into life after the restart as he combined well with his teammates in the final third and he scored a sublime goal.

Failed to impose himself on the game.

Maema couldn't take control as he would have liked, but he caught the eye with his work rate as he pressed and hurried the City defenders throughout the game.

Had a quiet first half with the hosts' defence looking solid.

Kutumela got himself into good positions in City's half, but he only fired one shot on target before being substituted. 

A workhorse upfront.

Shalulile put in a decent, energetic performance - making some clever runs, but chances didn't fall for him in City's half.

Came on in the 70th minute and looked solid defensively, but he didn't offer much going forward.

Came on at a time (72nd minute) when City were dominating the midfield and he stamped his authority in the middle of the park - winning back possession and making some nice passes.

Also came on in the 72nd minute and he kept the possession well as Downs ran down the clock.
