SuperSport United 1-1 Mamelodi Sundowns

Both Tshwane giants played out to an entertaining 1-1 stalemate at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

With the sides having met in the league this season already, as Sundowns ran out 2-0 victors on the opening day of the season, it was time to renew their rivalry once again.

Both goals came towards the end of the first half as Thamsanqa Gabuza opened the scoring for Matsatsantsa a Pitori with a beautiful header on 41 minutes but Sundowns hit back immediately through Gaston Sirino just two minutes after.

As the tie progressed, neither side could find the winner as they settled for a draw a piece.
