In what was a display of dominant ball play and counterattacking football, goals by Tashreeq Matthews, Iqraam Rayners, Lucas Ribeiro and Sphelele Mkhulise were enough for Downs to bag maximum points on home soil.
Ronwen Williams, who had little to do on the night, saved Gabadinho Mhango’s penalty in the 85th minute only for the attacker to add his name to the scoresheet four minutes later.
Elsewhere, Orlando Pirates were at their classy best during a 3-0 win against Polokwane City at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Sea Robbers dominated the game throughout the 90 minutes where goals by Monnapule Saleng and Evidence Makgopa (2) were enough for Jose Riveiro’s men to record their second victory of the season.
RESULTS:
Wednesday, 24 September
Orlando Pirates 3-0 Polokwane City
Mamelodi Sundowns 4-1 Marumo Gallants
Royal AM 0-0 Richards Bay
