The Tshwane giants dominated the encounter, with Neo Maema giving them the lead on 19 minutes with a first-time shot into the top corner after a cut-back by Peter Shalulile. Chiefs had a number of chances to equalise, with Keagan Dolly and Siyethemba Sithebe both coming close to finding the back of the net.
However, Sundowns held on to clinch their 12th consecutive win, a new record in the Premier Soccer League, and moved 17 points clear at the top of the log. The result was a major setback for Amakhosi, who remain in fifth position, 21 points behind the league leaders.
