Live updates are coming in from Loftus Versfeld Stadium as Mamelodi Sundowns host Lamontville Golden Arrows in a key Betway Premiership fixture tonight.
The Brazilians head into the encounter under pressure to maintain their push in the title race, having moved level on points with Orlando Pirates in recent rounds but trailing on goal difference.
With just over two months left in the season, Sundowns know that any dropped points could prove costly in their pursuit of another league crown.

Golden Arrows, meanwhile, arrive in Pretoria carrying the confidence of being the only side to have beaten Sundowns in the league this season.
Abafana Bes’thende claimed a narrow victory in the reverse fixture and will be hoping to frustrate the champions once again as they aim to improve their position on the table.
The match also carries an added layer of intrigue with Arrows coached by former Sundowns tactician Manqoba Mngqithi, who knows many of the Masandawana players inside out.

Sundowns are expected to dominate possession as they search for an early breakthrough, while Golden Arrows are likely to sit deep and look to exploit space on the counter-attack.
With crucial points at stake for both sides — one chasing the championship and the other seeking consistency — all signs point to a tense and competitive Betway Premiership contest.

The result keeps the PSL title race finely balanced, with neither of the top two able to afford dropped points as the season enters its decisive phase.

The clash carries added intrigue as Arrows remain the only side to have beaten Sundowns in the league this season and are coached by former Masandawana tactician Manqoba Mngqithi, who knows the squad inside out.
