New signing Lucas Ribeiro Costa was on target for the DStv Premiership champions last time out, while Rivaldo Coetzee also found the back of the net.

The Dutch side did managed to carve out a couple chances in the early stages of the first half, with Sylla Sow and Willum Willumsson unable to find a way past the Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.

The Brazilians remained defensively solid for the rest of the half, as Sow missed another chance to break the deadlock just before the halftime break after being picked out Dario Serra.

It was Sundowns who went on to bag the opening goal after the hour mark, with Sammy Seabi finding the back of the net from a corner situation.

The Eredivisie outfit were unable to find a way back into the contest as Sundowns held out for their first win in Europe.

Rulani Mokwena's charges will now turn their attention to Dutch Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam on Wednesday, before they finish up their European tour against NAC Breda.
