The win means City are just one point behind Sundowns, who have a game in hand but are beginning to look tired as the season heads into the business end.
New signing Christopher Davids, fresh from the Netherlands, hit a stunning freekick with his left foot to ensure a vital three point haul for his side with just two minutes left.
Sundowns were on the front foot from the start of the game, winning the midfield battles and setting up chances as they sent out a clear message about their intent to win. City goalkeeper Peter Leeuwenburgh was caught flat footed as he came out and might have done better but was static as the ball just trickled past him and into the net. City’s first effort at goal took 22 minutes in coming – they looked a little tentative in the beginning and was a speculative effort from a near impossible angle from Surprise Ralani, that went straight into the arms of Kennedy Mweene.
