Advantage Sundowns as Bidvest falter

Mamelodi Sundowns were the biggest winners following the weekends round of matches after moving 3 points clear at the summit of the ABSA premiership standings.

Masandawana now top the standings with 36 points after a commanding 3-2 win over Maritzburg United on Saturday.

A victory coupled with Bidvest Wits 2-1 loss at the hands of Bloemfentein Celtic all but underlined the Brazilians credentials as the team with the favourites tag in the psl title race.

Despite opening a 3 point lead, the coming weeks will prove vital for Masandawana who will also be focused on the Caf champions league where they are set to face Zimbabwean champions Chicken Inn.
