Record signing Teboho Mokoena scored his first Mamelodi Sundowns goal as the Brazilians’ relentless march to the 2021/22 DStv Premiership title continued with a 2-0 victory over strugglers Chippa United on Monday.
Chippa were reduced to 10 men midway through the first half when former Sundowns development player Siphesihle Mkhize received his marching orders, after which they inflicted more damage on themselves as Sandile Mthethwa scored an own goal. Captain Andile Jali tried to claim his first strike of the season two minutes before halftime, but his shot from the centre of the goal was going well wide before Chippa defender Mthethwa stuck out a boot and deflected it back on target and into the net.
The visitors lost defensive midfielder Mkhize on 24 minutes for a horror tackle on Thabiso Kutumela, which was high, reckless and deserving of the sanction. It is the first red card of his career. They also had a big shout for a penalty when Surprise Ralani’s lofted pass hit the hand of Roscoe Pietersen, which was away from the defender’s body. Referee Philangenkosi Khumalo may have concluded there was not much he could do at such close quarters.
