Best:

Mduduzi Mdantsane: 7,5/10

Mdantsane carried the team on his shoulders, excellently playing from box to box in midfield. He kept his composure to score from the penalty spot.

Talent Chawapiwa: 7/10

Chawapiwa was finding pockets of spaces to exploit for Bakgaga upfront, especially on counter-attacks.

Thabiso Semenya: 7/10

Semenya's experience was crucial at the back for Bakgaga. He kept the left channel of Sundowns quiet.

Gaston Sirino: 6.5/10

Sirino was not at his usual best but he got chances to get on the scoresheet. He was very creative upfront.

Themba Zwane: 6,5/10

Zwane was combining well with Sirino upfront although he faded in the latter stages of the second stanza.

Toni Silva: 6/10

Silva was a real attacking threat for Sundowns at times. He was not afraid to run at his marker and was surprisingly taken off in the second half.

Worst:

Mosa Lebusa: 4/10

Lebusa had a game to forget. His handball inside the box led to a penalty that was converted and a cross deflected off his leg before wrong-footing goalkeeper Reyaad Pieterse who pushed it further into the net.

Lyle Lakay: 4/10

Most of Baroka's attacks came down Lakay's flank, including the second goal. He had a tough time dealing with Chawapiwa.

Thapelo Morena: 5/10

Morena was not in the game. He rarely pushed forward on his right wing-back position which is usually his strength.

Ricardo Nascimento: 5/10

Nascimento was not forceful at the back. He lacked the big match temperament he normally possesses.
