Mamelodi Sundowns kept an iron grip on their lead of the DStv Premiership, though they also had to fight for it beating Sekhukhune United 2-0 at Tuks Stadium on Saturday.
Neo Maema continued his sparkling form opening the scoring in the 21st minute, and Themba Zwane added the second in the 60th from a fortunately received penalty.
Take the attack to Downs and they will absorb and punish the spaces a team leaves behind. Sit with a low block, aiming to counterattack, and sides invite the Brazilians to the stroll ball around in their half. In the opening 15 minutes, with Sekhukhune predictably tough to penetrate, Downs attempted shots from range.
It's not just the obvious quality, but also the calmness of a mentally-welded combination in dangerous situations that makes Downs so hard to defend against.
