Sundowns extend lead as inclement weather affects GDL games
The Gauteng region had its fair share of inclement weather over the weekend as rain, thunderstorms and lightning wiped several fixtures from the schedule.
NWU Vaal Academy and Wits Junior’s matches at the George Thabe Stadium were postponed. At the President Park Stadium, only the u13 fixture ran its course as the three other matches on the fixture list, between Remember Elite Sports Academy (RESA) and SuperSport United, were called off.
In Soweto, the u19 fixture between Kaizer Chiefs and Jomo Cosmos at Naturena was also postponed.
However, at Clapham High, the main fixture of the weekend – Mamelodi Sundowns vs Highlands Park – was played on Sunday.
Log leaders, Sundowns, with the advantage of playing at home, started the encounter at high intensity, which helped them take a 1-0 lead into the break. The goal came from a well-timed pass from Bennet Mokoena, which was met with a clinical finish from Ntokozo Siquba, to put the hosts in front.
The second half saw more of the same as the “Lions of the North” struggled to keep up with Sundowns.
When Mokoena sent in another accurate pass, this time finding Joy Mtyali in front of goal, Sundowns opened up a match-winning two-goal cushion.
With the win, they top the log with 15 points, just two clear of Rosina Sedibane Modiba Sports School, who beat Sevens Academy 3-1 on Saturday.
At the Randburg Sports Complex, TS Galaxy lost 3-4 to Randburg AFC, which allowed Rosina Sedibane to move above them in the standings.
At Huntersfield, Kathorus Hyper Academy suffered a 1-2 loss at home to Joburg City, who walked away with all three points from their Saturday showdown.
