Sundowns cruise past Milford to return to winning ways

Mamelodi Sundowns strengthened their position near the top of the Betway Premiership table with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Milford FC at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Brazilians controlled large periods of the match and were rewarded shortly before half-time when Iqraam Rayners broke the deadlock in added time.

Milford struggled to create clear opportunities against a disciplined Sundowns defence, while the home side continued to threaten as they looked to put the contest beyond doubt.

Their persistence paid off in the 76th minute when Antonio Van Wyk doubled Sundowns’ advantage, sealing all three points for Miguel Cardoso’s side.

The victory saw Sundowns move to 13 points after five matches, while Milford remained on seven points. The result also keeps Sundowns firmly in the early title race as they continue their pursuit of another league crown.
