JOHANNESBURG - Mamelodi Sundowns marched to yet another victory to edge closer to the title.
Goals in either half from Tashreeq Matthews and Iqraam Rayners overcame the Citizens of Cape Town City.
The clash at Cape Town Stadium was a tale of contrasting fortunes.
Mamelodi Sundowns, the undisputed giants of South African football, arrived in the Mother City with their sights set on maintaining a 12-point lead over second-placed Orlando Pirates, who had earlier secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback win against Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby.
The stakes were equally high for Cape Town City, but far more precarious.
Sitting at the foot of the Betway Premiership table, the Citizens were desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone, especially after SuperSport United’s 2-0 victory over Chippa United earlier in the day.
It was not to be though, with the Citizens remaining in the relegation zone in 15th place.
