First goal for Sundowns! Lebo Mothiba finds the net after a year and a half out injured

Mamelodi Sundowns put up a valiant fight against Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup clash, narrowly losing 3-4. One of the goals for the South African side was netted by Lebo Mothiba.

This goal marked the first for the 29-year-old striker in a Sundowns shirt since his move from French side Strasbourg, where he completed his contract as a free agent. The forward suffered a serious knee injury at the end of 2023, sidelining him for almost a year and a half.
