00:00for Mamelodi Sundance to now try and show their caped grey as well and it starts with this MTN8
00:06and away we go then it's the fourth quarter final match of the MTN8 of 2024
00:12Wafa Wafa is the mantra
00:15That was a one ring, no that was a six
00:176-6
00:23There's fast build up here Sharmilele
00:25Closed down quickly but keeps it alive
00:29There's Ribero
00:31Goes for the spectacular
00:33Sapua, Sapunga rather
00:35Needed to get something on that
00:37Yep, he improvises very well Ribero
00:39But it all goes down to that awareness
00:41Look at those beautiful passes
00:44Left footed midfielder
00:46Giving you those options of the pass
00:48But Ribero here knows exactly where goal is
00:50Tries and fancies his luck
00:54Ribero who's now
00:58Playing it back so now still applying the press
01:00Now Matthews has stolen it
01:02And lets it run dead
01:04As Sharmilele
01:06And well pulled by
01:08Wanted to take a deflection
01:10It must have because the signal is a corner
01:13Sometimes do really well to keep the pressure on
01:15Kamabu just so unlucky here
01:17Tries to give you that fake pass
01:19But Matthews just lurking
01:21Snatches up on it
01:23I thought Aubrey could have done better in taking that shot
01:25And just at least forcing the goalkeeper
01:27Mukwe
01:33It's Mukweda
01:35Couldn't keep it down
01:39As Sapunga comes out
01:42What he didn't like about that
01:44Where they defended that one
01:48Yeah I see nothing wrong
01:50I thought they jumped
01:52Maybe probably not happy that the wall broke a little bit
01:54Goalkeepers are very
01:56Thought about the shot
01:58Goes short instead
02:00Modiba
02:06They did well there
02:08Must be able to get on to that one
02:11Let's take a look at this one
02:13Just wrong here
02:15Mashiro to keep it alive
02:17Yeah comes off the upright
02:19Yep
02:21And again
02:23Aubrey Modiba the great ball
02:25He's just pulling those strings in that midfield
02:27Orchestrating everything at the moment
02:29Peter Sharmilele so unlucky
02:31As he's in
02:33Costa
02:35Skins one man
02:37Sharmilele
02:40Again he hits the upright
02:44You get a sense
02:46This afternoon
02:48Is to hit on the break
02:50Wonderful football here
02:52Sharmilele
02:54Again
02:56The upright to the rescue
02:58Here of Sapunga
03:00Sure power
03:02Right through the laces
03:04Very intentional
03:06The Brazilian
03:09And Modiba
03:11Gone underneath it
03:13They are asking the Queen
03:15Melody Sundowns are banging on the door
03:19And it's not that
03:21It's the lack of trying
03:23They're getting those combination passes
03:25Ribeiro
03:27Aubrey thinking that he's getting all of the power
03:29Behind it but just lifts it high
03:31And this Melody Sundowns
03:33They won't be complete until that last phase
03:35That third
03:38Oh what a chance
03:40Were they
03:42Now that was more like it
03:44From Pulugu Adesilia
03:46But how to hit on the break there on the counter
03:48Be a little bit ruthless in that third phase
03:50Caught on the transition
03:52Onyango does a great save
03:54Think Alexandre Cole
03:56Good position
03:58Opportunities in front of goal
04:02The cutback
04:04Costa
04:07Oh my goodness
04:09How many more chances
04:11How many more
04:15Haven't tested the keeper much
04:17Not at all
04:19The goalkeeper hasn't really been forced to make a save
04:21Ribeiro does exceptionally well in those tight spaces
04:23Look at that turn
04:25Just goes underneath the ball
04:27And just sends it
04:29Just over 5 minutes remaining to the
04:31Half time break
04:33Still locked at nil
04:36Gets a head on to it
04:38But just puts it wide
04:40He doesn't need
04:42Too many chances
04:44Just look
04:46And he will punish to get him cornered for it
04:48What a ball to pick him out
04:50Yeah what a ball from Debo Homukwena
04:52Mamelody Sundowns just being very patient
04:54Trying to find the
04:56The better
04:58For your chance to see his Allende
05:00Mashigo to his left
05:06Dibousa
05:10Chance to fire one in again
05:12Can't put it on target
05:14Lucas Rivera not for the first time
05:16Gets underneath it
05:18Eugene Mzouli
05:20A minimum of a minute
05:22That's the word from
05:24Our fourth official
05:26A lot of shots have been fired in his direction
05:28But he's only actually had one save
05:30To make
05:32Chauke now
05:35Hit that one
05:37Got a hold of it
05:39Couldn't keep it down
05:41He's number 9 like you've been saying
05:43TT you have to stay in the game
05:45It's easy to just go to sleep
05:47But Chauke has really just been fired up
05:49Every opportunity he's getting
05:51He's running at defenders
05:53It's just a matter of time
05:57Modiba
05:59In the block again
06:05At the other end
06:07The flag stays down
06:09Tries to lob the ball over
06:11An advancing Onyangbo
06:13Ball
06:19Definitely would have been onside
06:21But the ball is
06:23It's just
06:25Fluffed his lines there
06:28Modiba
06:34Could be a chance here
06:36Well I think he did it
06:38Too much on the ball there
06:40Ditemba Zouani
06:42Needed to pull the trigger quicker
06:44What an impact that would have been
06:46Off the bench
06:48Just a touch I think got away
06:50From him as well
06:52It's always just in that final third
06:54Where you want him to have a bit of composure
06:57It's Apollos
06:59Appeals there
07:01Was he outside the box
07:03Then what would the referee do
07:05He's reaching for the top pocket
07:07It's red
07:09Again the pace of Apollos
07:11Got problems there
07:13Was he got there first
07:15Great work from Chauke
07:17Great work from Chauke
07:19This is what he's been doing
07:21All afternoon long
07:23Making sure that he's trying to stay onside
07:26And every loose ball that he's
07:28Trying to chase
07:30Onyango has been in trouble
07:32Once again Onyango forced to come off his line
07:34And of course without a doubt
07:36It's outside the box
07:38It's a definite straight red
07:42Now
07:46Trying to find a gap
07:48But a shot
07:50Could be by Zouani
07:52Of all people
07:55It's Teba Zouani
07:57He couldn't control
07:59I thought Macego could have just laid it off
08:01Ribera was open and free
08:03Just laid off
08:05Teba Zouani on that second ball
08:07Sends it over the bar once again
08:13Sixers onto the field
08:15There's a sundown
08:17Trying to find
08:19Trying to kick this lock
08:21Oh!
08:24Oh my goodness
08:26How cruel can this game be
08:32Oh wouldn't you know it
08:36They have been absolutely
08:38Turudi has turned the ball
08:40Into
08:42Take a look at this
08:46It's an overhead pass
08:48You know it was an overhead pass
08:50But I guess when I put it into that area
08:53Oh
08:55Martinudi felt he had to intervene
08:57Yep and how many times
08:59Have Mameloudi Sundowns been playing
09:01These sort of passes
09:03And Pulugwane City dealing with them
09:05The last five games against Pulugwane City
09:11Now this is promising
09:13Apollos caught
09:15In possession
09:17Too many passes here
09:19Apollos is in the air
09:22To be fair it was straight at him
09:26As Apollos couldn't really sort out his feet
09:28It's just the basic direction of the keeper
09:30Yep very impressive
09:32How Pulugwane City go about this attack
09:34Very patient in their build up
09:36Knocking the ball and moving it around
09:38Apollos with a very rare opportunity
09:40In between the players
09:42Mameloudi Sundowns players
