BEST

 

EmilIano Tade - 8/10

 

The Argentine starred from the onset, as he assisted with both their goals and was solid in all areas of the pitch.

 

Lebohang Maboe - 7/10

 

Came back to haunt his former club with the second goal and along with Tade was menacing up front especially in the opening minutes.

 

Denis Onyango - 8/10

 

Undoubtedly kept Sundowns in the game, especially towards halftime with a number of big saves from all areas but was eventually beaten in the second stanza.

 

Alan Kateregga - 7/10

 

The Ugandan played his heart out as he denied Thapelo Morena his usual overlapping runs with countless attacking interplays.

 

Fortune Makaringe - 7/10

 

Bossed the middle of the park, as he showed little respect to seasoned campaigners Hlompho Kekana and Tiyani Mabunda and was rewarded with a goal.  

 

Yannick Zakri - 7/10

 

Zakri started off the bench, but after his 27th minute entry completely changed their attacking dynamism which had their visitors back-paddling much of the game.

 

WORST

 

Thapelo Morena - 5/10

 

The fullback was extremely off colour as he failed to get any attack from the back going, while struggling defensively.

 

Siyanda Xulu - 5/10

 

Failed to lead from the front and was caught ball-watching much of the time, as seen in the both the goals that found their net.

 

Thabiso Kutumela - 4/10

 

Couldn’t get anything going, as the Brazilians easily tracked his every move while he struggled the physically presence of a certain Ricardo Nascimento.

 

Gaston Sirino - 4/10

 

Didn’t finish the game, and until the 52nd minute, was a complete passenger followed with a careless dismissal on 60 minutes.
