Two Signings On Target As Downs Thrash Dutch Side

Two Signings On Target As Downs Thrash Dutch Side

Mamelodi Sundowns bagged another victory on their pre-season tour of Europe after thrashing Dutch Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam 4-1 on Tuesday.

The Brazilians secured their first win over the weekend after defeating Go Ahead Eagles and they continued with the preparation for the new season with a big win against another Dutch outfit.

Coach Rulani Mokwena went for the tried and tested in the Sundowns line-up, although new signing Lucas Ribeiro Costa was named in the side along with Rivaldo Coetzee and Abdelmounaim Boutouil.

The South African champions raced into a two-goal lead in the first half, with last season's top scorer Peter Shalulile getting his name on the score-sheet for the first time on their tour.

New signing Ribeiro is seemingly having no problem fitting in with his teammates after bagging Sundowns' third goal in the 81st minute and his second in pre-season, while Mehmet Yüksel pulled one back for Sparta on 76 minutes, 

Fellow new signing Thapelo Maseko rounded off the scoring for Mokwena's side in the final nine minutes of the second half with his first goal in a Sundowns shirt.

The Brazilians will take another Dutch side NAC Breda this Friday.
