Mamelodi Sundowns opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table thanks to their 3-0 win over Polokwane City on Sunday at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
Strikes from Iqraam Rayners, Tashreeq Matthews, and Nuno Santos were enough for the defending champions to get another crucial Premier Soccer League victory to widen the gap.
