Cassius Mailula continued his impressive form for Mamelodi Sundowns by scoring in their 2-0 Betway Premiership victory over Marumo Gallants. The 26-year-old forward, who rejoined the club after failed spells in the USA, Morocco, and Belgium, added his third goal of the season to solidify his place in the squad. Mailula’s strike came in the second half, sealing a win that saw Sundowns extend their unbeaten run in the league.
The result marked another strong performance for the Caf Champions League champions, who have now won two consecutive PSL matches. Their previous 3-2 victory over TS Galaxy in Mbombela had already signaled their intent, and the 2-0 win over Marumo Gallants further showcased their attacking prowess. Mailula’s ability to convert chances into goals has been a key factor in Sundowns’ recent success, with his brace against Kaizer Chiefs and goal against Polokwane City highlighting his consistency.
Coach Miguel Cardoso praised Mailula’s impact, emphasizing his importance to the team’s strategy. The Portuguese tactician’s comments come after the departure of Peter Shalulile, who had been a key player in previous campaigns. Mailula’s return has provided a reliable goal threat, and his performance against Marumo Gallants underscored his value to the squad. The striker is now set to face Golden Arrows in the MTN8 semi-finals, where his form could be decisive in securing a place in the final.
