Mamelodi Sundowns entered the halftime break leading Richards Bay in their Nedbank Cup encounter, with a new signing getting on the scoresheet.Kennedy Mweene stepped came in for the absent Denis Onyango, while new signing Bradley Ralani was handed his debut in the line-up while fellow newcomer Teboho Mokoena started on the bench.
The Natal Rich Boyz started the stronger of the two sides but Sundowns had the first real chance in the 16th minute after Shalulile went through on goal in the six-yard box from Ralani's pass but his toe-poke lacked power and was saved by goalkeeper Malcolm Jacobs. The visitors eventually broke the deadlock in the 24th minute after debutant Ralani fired home a left-footed strike from a rebound in the box after Jacobs parried Thabiso Kutumela's cross.
Sundowns gained control of the game after that, not giving Richards Bay chances on transitions but they also lacked the final pass in the last third, as they settled for a slender lead heading into the halftime break.16.
