After an exciting CAF Champions League encounter that saw Sundowns claim a 2-0 win and seal progression to the next round, Soccer Laduma rates the individual performances of the Mamelodi Sundowns players.
Denis Onyango: 6.5
The Ugandan international did not have much to do, but was solid when called upon, doing well to keep a vital clean sheet.
Mzikayise Mashaba: 7.0
The left back kept things solid at the back and also put in a very nice shift along the touchline whipping in the crosses.
Asavela Mbekile: 7.0
Was a key figure in Masandawana's midfield, doing well to win possession and initiate the attacks.
Tebogo Langerman: 6.5
Did well to win possession and was involved in the team's attacks.
Thabo Nthethe: 6.5
The defender did not have a lot to do as the hosts were on the offensive for most of the game, but he was rock-solid when called upon.
Wayne Arendse: 7.5
Did well to keep a clean sheet, and the defender also produced a fine finish to hand Mamelodi Sundowns their opener.
Hlompo Kekana: 7.0
The midfielder was very solid in the middle of the park, doing well to win possession and initiate attacking moves.
Soumahoro Bangaly: 6.0
The defender did not have much to do in the first stanza and was taken off at the half-way stage.
Keagan Dolly: 7.0
The youngster was energetic on the ball, doing well to get involved in those fast breaks and linking up with Khama Billiat.
Khama Billiat: 8.0
The midfielder was a joy to watch as he got involved in most attacks, also setting up the opener and winning the penalty that led to the second goal.
Leonardo Castro: 6.5
The Colombian was a constant threat upfront, but sometimes should have been more clinical with a few wasted chances.
Substitutes:
Anthony Laffor: 7.0
Was very lively after his introduction, proving to be a threat on attack with every move he was involved in.
Siyanda Zwane: 6.5
Had a rather quiet time after being introduced at the restart, but did well to keep a clean sheet.
Katlego Mashego: NA
Was the hero after being brought on in stoppage time and then stepping up to score the crucial penalty in what was his only touch of the match.
