Rulani Mokwena delighted with his new signings after 2-1 victory over Sekhukhune: Rulani Mokwena watched with delight as his Mamelodi Sundowns team began the defence of their DStv Premiership title with a 2-1 victory over Sekhukhune United on Friday…
Thapelo Maseko and Lucas Rebeiro Costa combined for the Brazilians' second goal on a cold night at Peter Mokaba Stadium to give the young coach confidence he has made good signings.
Maseko came off the bench to replace Aubrey Modiba at the start of the second half and made an immediate impact with a brilliant run that saw him eliminate both Daniel Cardos and goalkeeper Bradra Sangare before setting Costa up to slot home. The Brazilian Costa came highly recommended and the goal he scored would suggest he is the real deal.
And it would appear Sundowns are going to raise the ceiling yet again this term and the rest of the league will have to work even harder to get close to stopping them from dominating.
