Overview
- Introduced around the 80th minute at Loftus Versfeld, Monnapule Saleng teed up Iqraam Rayners in the 81st minute to restore Sundowns’ lead in a 3–1 victory.
- Miguel Cardoso praised Saleng’s quality and said the winger can operate on either flank or in more central roles.

- Saleng joined in January after a loan spell at Orbit College from Orlando Pirates, and Sundowns next host Golden Arrows on Wednesday.
