Sundowns shortly before the half-time break with a composed finish in the
box from a cross by Siyanda Nyanga. However, Amakhosi were rescued by the

way back into the game three minutes later through Donay Jansen.

Ratomo went on to double the lead for the Buccaneers in the last eight
minutes and completed his brace after a quick reaction in the box and
Sonwabo Khumalo put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time.

cushion at half-time. Yandisa Mfolozi put United out of sight early in the
second stanza and Thabang Mahlangu rounded off the thrashing with 16
minutes remaining.

stanza.

that was fumbled into the back of the net by goalkeeper Likhaya Velele.
