PREMIERSHIP: DEFENDING CHAMPIONS MAKE EASY WORK OF GALLANTS.

The free-scoring Brazilians have now found the back of the net 14 times in four matches after a slow start to the season.

Tashreeq Matthews, Iqraam Rayners, Lucas Ribeiro Costa and Sphelele Mkhulise were all on the scoresheet for Sundowns, while Gabadinho Mhango scored what proved to be Bahlabani ba Ntwa's consolation goal.

Manqoba Mngqithi's charges are tied on six points with Orlando Pirates but top the log on goal difference. It will be a morale booster ahead of the blockbuster clash against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
