Champions Mamelodi Sundowns are four points clear at the top of the DStv Premiership after they beat struggling Swallows 3-0 on Sunday evening to maintain their unbeaten start.
Slovakian striker Pavol Safranko scored his first league goal to put Sundowns ahead after half an hour of action before Neo Maema and Peter Shalulile struck late in the second half.
It is still early on in the season but the champions are showing signs of the unstopable form they displayed in the previous campaign where they lost just one Premiership match and conceded 14 goals on their way to a record-breaking fourth league title last season. Swallows started brightly and forced a few good saves out of home goalkeeper Denis Onyango but the visitors fizzled out as soon as Safranko opened the scoring.
Sundowns will travel to Congo to face AS Maniema Union in the Caf Champions League after the international break.
