Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi says their Premier Soccer League 3-0 win over Orlando Pirates was just what they had planned as they ended a rough spell.
After going for four games without recording victory in all competitions, Sundowns reacted by dismissing Pirates 3-0 courtesy of goals by Ricardo Nascimento, returning striker Peter Shalulile and substitute Lyle Lakay.
It was the third time for Masandawana to beat the Buccaneers this season but the defending champions had been enduring a difficult run of late which saw AmaZulu dislodging them from the PSL top spot which they, however, reclaimed.
