Divine Lunga of Mamelodi Sundowns celebrates his goal with teammates during their MTN8 semifinal match against Golden Arrows at Lucas Moripe Stadium on September 28, 2021 in PretoriaMamelodi Sundowns have booked a place in the MTN8 final after a dominant 3-0 win over Golden Arrows in the second leg of their semifinal match at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Tuesday night.
For all their recent domestic dominance, Sundowns never lifted the MTN8 trophy in its current guise and their last win was when they beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 in 2007 while the competition was known as the SAA Supa8. In what was Shalulile’s second goal of the tournament, Sundowns cut through the Arrows midfield with a delightful move that also involved Themba Zwane, Andile Jali and Haashim Domingo.
The Brazilians, who completely controlled the early exchanges, tightened their grip on the match with the second goal that was headed home by Lunga, who outjumped Ndwandwe in the box.
