Sundowns’ nightmare continues, Chiefs drop points

TSHWANE — Mamelodi Sundowns’ horror start to the season continued unabated as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Platinum Stars on Saturday evening.

Henrico Botes fired home the game’s only goal just 14 minutes in, taking “Dikwena” to a four-way tie for sixth place, while the “Brazilians” dropped into the relegation zone with four points from their opening seven Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches.

The result marked Sundowns’ sixth Premiership match without victory and will leave the pressure firmly on coach Johan Neeskens, whose future at the Tshwane giants is now surely in doubt.
