Club record R62 million-signing scores beautiful goal as Mamelodi Sundowns extend lead over Orlando Pirates with win over Kaizer Chiefs legend Arthur Zwane's AmaZulu FC

Mamelodi Sundowns hosted AmaZulu at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Tuesday night.

Miguel Cardoso made seven changes, with Ronwen Williams returning as goalkeeper. Arthur Zwane set up his team defensively, creating a lackluster first half with few chances.

The game opened up in the second half when AmaZulu switched to an attacking approach, leaving gaps at the back.

Peter Shalulile capitalized, scoring his 127th league goal before club-record R62 million signing Arthur Sales sealed the win after turning well in the box before firing past goalkeeper Veli Mothwa.

Sundowns secured three points and extended their lead at the top to 18 points over second-placed Orlando Pirates.

The Namibian striker wasted no time making his mark, bursting through the defence with a perfectly timed run before outpacing the AmaZulu goalkeeper to slot the ball home after a brilliant assist from Khuliso Mudau.

That goal wasn’t just another addition to the scoresheet = it was a historic moment. Peter Shalulile had just etched his name deeper into Sundowns' history, netting his 100th goal for the Brazilians.

A century of goals, a legacy built on a relentless work ethic, sharp instincts, and an unbreakable winning mentality.

Arthur Zwane’s approach to the game was overly cautious, prioritizing defense over creativity. He packed the backline with defenders, hoping to catch Mamelodi Sundowns on the counter.

This strategy made the game dull and lacked any real attacking intent. His team struggled to build meaningful attacks and barely threatened the opposition.

Only after conceding did he start introducing more attack-minded players. By then, Sundowns had already taken control, and his reactive tactics proved ineffective.

Mamelodi Sundowns now set their sights on a blockbuster showdown with Orlando Pirates, eager to tighten their grip on the league title.

The Buccaneers' 0-0 stalemate in Cape Town was a missed opportunity, leaving them 18 points adrift.

With 22 games played, Sundowns smell blood and are ready to widen the gap even further. Pirates will be desperate to respond, but can they handle the unstoppable Brazilians?
