Mamelodi Sundowns FC Overview

The Brazilians head coach pulled no punches in his assessment of the Buffalo City Stadium following a dramatic 1-1 draw against Chippa United. The Portuguese tactician watched his side salvage a point through a late Antonio van Wyk strike, but his post-match comments were dominated by the state of the playing surface.

The Chilli Boys came agonisingly close to ending their winless run, only to be denied victory by a late equaliser against the Betway Premiership log leaders at KuGompo City. The Eastern Cape outfit looked set to claim a much-needed three points in front of a packed crowd, but the visitors struck in the dying moments to snatch a share of the spoils.

The former Orlando Pirates full-back's move to the Tshwane giants adds serious firepower to their defensive ranks. The arrival of the 29-year-old at Chloorkop hasn’t just bolstered Masandawana’s star-studded squad, but he is also tipped to challenge for a place in the national team setup.

The Masandawana winger has laid down a marker for his international ambitions, insisting he is prepared to put in the hard yards to earn a spot in the South African national team. The 22-year-old, who has impressed since his move from Golden Arrows, is eager to catch the eye of the newly appointed Bafana head coach.
