The Premier Soccer League (PSL) defending champions left it late to brush aside their visitors
An injury-time strike by substitute Lyle Lakay and Gaston Sirino’s sublime goal claimed three points for Sundowns in a 2-1 victory over Maritzburg United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors appeared to have done enough to grab a point on the road after Siyanda Xulu had cancelled Sirino’s first-half goal, but Lakay rose from the bench to decide the contest late on.
The result saw Sundowns leaping three positions up the standings to settle in second pot with a game in hand as they awaited the outcome between Bidvest Wits and Orlando Pirates late on Saturday.
