High-flying ‘Downs ready for round two against Chiefs

Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs meet one more time to lighten up 2016.

High-flying Mamelodi Sundowns will face the defending Absa Premier League champions Kaizer Chiefs again on Saturday night.

The FNB Stadium match is scheduled to kick off at 20:15.

The Brazilians come from a successful 2015 after winning the Nedbank Cup and Telkom Knockout. Their last two outings saw them humiliate Kaizer Chiefs 3-1 and Orlando Pirates 2-0 in a space of four days.

The PSL transfer window has opened and many teams have already taken the opportunity to bring in players to boost their squads. However, nothing seems to be happening at the Chloorkop camp.

Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane was reported to have said the team won’t be signing any big players during this transfer window.

“In the last two transfer windows we have only signed three players,” he said.

“We only brought in Fiston Abdul Razak, Leonardo Castro and Bangaly Soumahoro. But obviously we brought Keagan Dolly because we had loaned him to Ajax Cape Town and Magakolodi Ngele because we had loaned him to Platinum Stars. We can say those are the only people.”
