Sundowns thrash Ronwen Williams’ SuperSport comeback

Friday night in Durban, Ronwen Williams’ emotional return to the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium to play against SuperSport United ended in a humiliating 2-1 loss to Matsatsantsa.

After nine minutes, Iqraam Rayners’s cross was converted by Thapelo Maseko to give the home side the lead.

SuperSport displayed defensive maturity by preventing the defending league winners from creating excellent chances and gaining attacking space. On the cusp of halftime, Matsatsantsa’s veteran striker Bradley Grobler headed in a cross from Rayners, who provided his second assist of the evening.

In second-half stoppage time, Sundowns scored a goal, but it was little more than a consolation. After spending the bulk of the game fighting to find space, Peter Shalulile found Abubeker Nassir with a deft ball, and the Ethiopian scored.

The victory will be a source of comfort for SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt. After a sluggish start to his second tenure as coach, his side has won consecutive league matches against Sundowns and Richards Bay. The outcome will serve as a wake-up call for Sundowns. It stopped them from reaching the top of the standings and was their second loss of the season. If they want to win the league again this season, they may have to work much harder than in prior years.

Sundowns are scheduled to meet Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in the Eastern Cape on Thursday. Next Saturday, SuperSport will take on Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium.

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
