Dominant Mamelodi Sundowns continued on their winning ways in the DStv Premiership clinching their 11th consecutive league victory on Wednesday night.
The Tshwane giants thrashed Western Cape outfit Cape Town Spurs 3-0 in a midweek thriller at Loftus Versfeld stadium.
The win stretched Masandawana’s lead at the summit of the table but unfortunately keeps Spurs rooted to the bottom, with only one victory under their belt.
Sundowns opened an eight-point lead at the summit despite their busy continental schedule resulting in them playing three fewer local games than their rivals.
Should they win their games in hand, the lead could grow to 17 points and firmly instal them as favourites to retain their league title.
Game, set, and match! Masandawana notch up their 11th consecutive leauge win, clinching victory in style! 🏆⚽

But Peter Shalulile returned to scoring ways coming off the bench to put the final nail on the coffin of the Capetonians.
