Orlando Pirates Vs Mamelodi Sundowns ‣ All Goals _ Highlights ‣ Betway Psl 2025_26

And we're just halfway through the season. Let's talk about the visitors here. Especially knowing that Hortense, Bili Bili, they all forever find themselves in higher spaces and maybe just to counter-press as well when Mameloudis and Nas are trying to build from the back. But the three up front regular starters recently within Potuma being very, very productive inside the box. Mameloudis and Nas has already scored twice as a Colombian recruit. A little bit of dynamism as well with Adams, Morena, maybe Modiba as well. But I guess what brings Santos into the team, that creativity that they're going to need with those passes that are maybe methods might be the one. Taking it all in his stride. He knows very well about the pressure that comes with these jobs. He's worked in North Africa and built up with every match. This is a game. I think it's a line of pass that they need to win this game. Look at how Santos lined up there for that kickoff. All of them on the halfway line there. Emma, what's the thinking behind that kick-off, what did you say? I'll be lying to you if I say I know what's the thinking behind it. At this level, when you play against the teams of the quality of Orlando Pirates. It was indeed. I mean, look at the ball that has been played by Siema. Horta, you know, winning the ball inside the box. Yes, Grant Kekana trying to clear, but it wasn't cleared enough. But look at Horta reacting with his right foot. You know, he understands his role very well. That's why Smilibele is in this team. Look at where he is. You know, when Mamadi is in the line of pass and position of the ball, he gets into those areas. That's why he is in this kind of team. That's a great ball. Apollos! And another thing saved from Ronwyn Williams. This one came straight at him though. But Ataport at this level. I don't want to sit here. Let's see what they can do here. Now, Rele Moufokane cruises into the box. Sudden snapshot, but no real power from Dion Ahato. Kaiser Chiefs who crashed out of Cav Club competition weekend. Now, it's just that he dallyed on the ball too much there. The flag has stayed down here. What a challenge. Oh, my goodness. What does the referee say? He says he got the ball. Oh, my goodness. That is some high risk defending. But, wow, could easily have gone so wrong. Santos tried to play the offside trap there, but the flag stayed down and Maswangane was in on goal. But the recovery tackle there. We'll see it in a moment. Could be a chance here. Brian Leiding, they got it for Brian. And we spoke earlier about the inclusion of Santos into the team. We spoke about the creative spark that he has to bring into the team. The one that has been missing when he was suspended. When you see this goal, you look at his pass, you look at the run, you look at the delay also, because the London Pirates are trying to play also at the high line. You look at the run that this man, Leon, has to make. Also for Santos to be able to find him, but also he still had work to do inside the box, to be able to control and finish at an awkward angle. You see here the preparation build-up, but look at where Santos finds himself. Out wide, creating space, realizing that in the middle is too congested. But look at the time that he's buying. Look at Leon making that run, because Siema also plays on one side, but he still had a lot of work to do. Oh, what a finish. Yeah. What a finish. And they take the lead. You remember the sundowns. Brian Leon. A Colombian. And it's a wonderful finish there. I suppose you put it in the one place where you could have actually scored. Yeah. Xipo Chen had covered the near post. Yeah. That's an excellent finish. Fabulous pass to pick out Brian Leon. Space here for Aubrey Moutiba down the right-hand side. Looks to slip in. Ryan, you know. This is ruthless stuff. Williams has run the length of the field for the Colombian. Coming his own catcher. Twelve goals in what? In four days. What? Such a great run from Leon. Again, we spoke about him, his characteristics as a player that really, really likes to make those type of runs over the shoulder. With enough space and time, with moments of sundowns in that midfield. Look at Aubrey also. Hugging the line. Also on the right-hand side of Rolando Paz. But look at the run that he makes behind Ciema yet again. Unable, in the first instance, where Sibisi was able to cover him. But this time around, I think this brilliant ball being played by Moutiba. Look at this. In the dressing room to where you are trailing 2-0. Matthews cuts inside. Jadon Adams lets it run. And he gets a return ball. You can see what he tried to do. Poke it just outside. Outside of the boot. That's another great passage of play. This is more like the sundowns we have become accustomed to seeing now. Maybe to try and, but also inside the box, to try and maybe take it as quickly as possible. He passed it. The keeper, Massongangi, it was. It popped up in the most advanced position there. Also on the score sheet over the weekend. Difficult to be able to track this run. Out at Noctis. End of the day. These goals. Massongangi. Good flexing that he took. As he did over the weekend. And there's nothing Rondon Williams could do about that. And wow, just after Butuma. Just with the woodwork. That is just what pirates needed. The early goal. Yeah, I mean, the early goal. Look at the ball being played. Nice ball being played by Opelestein. Butuma could have done better. And yet again, you know, they're winning that second ball. It's no fun them in an attacking position. But for Tito again, just taking those chances outside the box. We spoke a little bit earlier. You know, I heard Stiglitz speaking about the number of goals that a lot of pirates have scored outside the box. And this man here, Tito, caused with that deflection as well. Just troubled Rondon Williams. But this is the goal that they needed. 80 on to the second. Massongangi. Opelestein. Butuma ended first time by putting a beautiful cross for him. Now at the other end, there could be problems here as Brian is in. By the way, he's on a hat-trick. But pirates are regrouping defense. Matthews. Works it wide to Mutiba. And good work there by Macaulay to intercept. There's a shot from Vareng. Wait, Vareng now. Good recovery from Gianotto there. That's lining it up. Comes and gets up. Oh, and it's a crossbar. The referee saw something in there. Got up for that one. And now he's got the cramps in. Yeah, I think he got the cramp there. But it wasn't the money that went up. Went up very well, actually. Look at that. Matthews nearly getting in the way of Mutiba. Disappointed himself because he'd want to carry it on the side. Now, Rondon Williams reacted quickest there. Pitches are out. Rondon Williams punches it away. Temperswani. Nice little ball over the top. And Butuma could be in. Yeah. Tried to control it. Just that first touch got it wrong. But the flag was up again. That's quite a number of times that they've been caught offside. Orlando Pirates. Seven times. Atticus Hill.
