Soccer Laduma rates the individual performances of the Mamelodi Sundowns players, following their 2-0 win over Free State Stars.

 

Here are the ratings:

 

Denis Onyango: 6

 

Popped up with a couple fine saves, most notably in the first half, with two saves in quick succession.

 

Siyanda Zwane: 6

 

Another solid showing at right back from Zwane, both defensively and on the attack.

 

Alje Schut: 6

 

Schut put in a strong showing in the heart of the defence and did well to frustrate the Stars attack.

 

Ramahlwe Mphahlele: 6

 

Continues to impress in central defence alongside Schut and put in a fine performance against Ea Lla Koto.

 

Mzikayise Mashaba: 5

 

Started off the game well but showed his careless side by picking up an unnecessary second yellow card by fouling Johnny Mathole.

 

Hlompho Kekana: 6

 

Kekana put in a solid showing in the middle of the park, shielded the back four and had a few efforts on goal.

 

Bongani Zungu: 6

 

A workman like performance from Zungu, continued to do his job in the middle, which was keeping things ticking in the final third for Sundowns.

 

Tebogo Langerman: 6 

 

Got forward to good effect and slotted in perfectly when Mashaba was sent off and almost got on the score-sheet with a venomous strike.

 

Anthony Laffor: 6 

 

Laffor put in a fine showing down the right flank for Sundowns, made a few good runs and managed to track back on a few occasions.

 

Khama Billiat: 7

 

Crowned his fine performance with a well-taken goal in the 73rd minute, Sundowns best player on the night.

 

Cuthbert Malajila: 7

 

Was a threat to the Stars defence throughout and got a well-deserved goal just before the halftime break. His ninth of the season.

 

Substitutes:

 

Themba Zwane: 5

 

Brought on in the final 20 minutes but did not have a big impact on the game.

Not on the field long enough to receive a rating.
