Mamelodi Sundowns thump Chippa United 4-1 in a Betway Premiership encounter at Loftus Versveld to return to the top of the table with a two point lead

Brayan Leon sealed the victory for Mamelodi Sundowns against Chippa United in a 4-1 victory which saw the Brazilians return to the Betway Premiership summit.

Leon scored at the death in the encounter played at Loftus Versveld Stadium to see Miguel Cardoso’s side leapfrog Orlando Pirates at the top of the PSL standings.

Marcello Allende, Iqraam Rayners netted in the first half with Sinoxolo Kwayiba scoring Chippa United’s goal under a wintry Easter weekend in Tshwane.

Tashreeq Matthews scored Sundowns’ third goal in the last 10 minutes of the match as Columbian striker Leon scored right at the death to see Sundowns clinch the three points at home.

Chippa were not really into this game as they did not pose any danger or threat to the well-oiled machine which is Sundowns.

The team from Eastern Cape under Vusumuzi Vilakazi could not trouble the PSL defending champions who are on course for their ninth successive title.
