Mamelodi Sundowns claimed their first victory of the Betway Premier League season last night, defeating AmaZulu FC 2–0 in a decisive performance that propelled them to second place on the league table.
The match, played under bright floodlights, showcased the Sundowns’ attacking strength and defensive stability. From the outset, the home side took control of possession, pressing high and creating chances. Their persistence paid off in the first half when they broke through AmaZulu’s defensive line to score the opening goal.
In the second half, Sundowns maintained their dominance, keeping AmaZulu on the back foot. The second goal came from a well-executed move, sealing the win and igniting celebrations among the fans. The clean sheet was equally important, reflecting a solid defensive display that kept AmaZulu from finding any momentum.
This result marked a turning point for the Sundowns, who had been eager to register their first three points of the campaign. The win not only boosted team morale but also signaled their intent to challenge for the top spot in the league.

As the season progresses, Sundowns’ supporters will be hopeful that this strong showing is the beginning of a sustained run of form. The team’s next fixture will be an opportunity to build on this momentum and continue their push toward the top of the table.
