Mamelodi Sundowns lead the DStv Premiership table as the league goes into a two-month break for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The disarray Sundowns were seemingly in after their MTN8 exit at the hands of Orlando Pirates, added to the coaching reshuffle seems forgotten already with Rulani Mokwena securing a 5-0 win over Maritzburg United and a 3-0 win over Royal AM in his first games in charge as head coach.
The six points and eight goals see them hold a five-point gap over second-placed Richards Bay with a game in hand over the Premiership newcomers who’ve been one of the surprises of the new campaign.
SuperSport United missed the chance to go second and close in on their Tshwane rivals after a 1-1 draw with Swallows at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on Sunday afternoon as Thulani Hlatshwayo’s strike was cancelled out a minute before time by Lindokuhle Mtshali.
The Natal Richboyz themselves missed out on two points as they threw away a lead against Chippa United to draw 3-3 in a thriller at the Bidvest Stadium.
Meanwhile, Chiefs and Pirates are outside of the top three but Amakhosi will be in high spirits for the second half of the season after their Soweto Derby victory over their fierce rivals.
And at the other end of the table, things are real interesting as only goal difference separates United and Sekhukhune United, while the Dube Birds gave themselves a two-point cushion.
