After the restart, Rabale netted her second following a fine team move, while Lehlogonolo Mashigo, Lebohang Ramalepe and Miche Minnies all scored to secure another comprehensive attacking performance in front of the goal.

Mashigo, who scored her first goal of the season, expressed her excitement following the team’s recent incredible goal-scoring exploits.

She said she’s happy for the team’s performance and she wishes they continue to play like this in subsequent games.

Mashigo said the team spirit in the camp is high and everyone is clicking at the right time.

“The team have CAF matches coming up and there will be lots of games to play. We are soldiers and are built for moments like these,” Mashigo said.

She added that on a personal note, it was good to get back on the scoresheet.

Makhurubetshi, who also registered her first goal of the campaign, was proud of her team’s tactical approach to the game.

“Overall, I am happy with the performance of the team from the blast of the opening whistle. The team knew what it wanted and three points were on our minds.”

She said the team felt it was necessary to make supporters happy.

“There is a lot at stake for the team and we know that there is no room for error. I am also happy with the goal I scored because it is rare for us as defenders to find the back of the net.”

Thanks to her magnificent brace, the red-hot Rabale was deservedly named Player of the Match.

Rabale’s double takes her tally for the season to 18 goals as she leads the Sundowns Ladies’ scoring chart.

Melinda Kgadiete has scored 15 times, while Andisiwe Mgcoyi has seven goals to her name. Lebohang Ramalepe has now scored six times, the same as Chuene Morifi.

The Brazilians will be aiming to continue their impressive run of form as they face relegation-threatened Coal City Wizards on Wednesday, October 25, at Lucas Moripe.
