Mendieta scores as Mamelodi Sundowns win 1-0 at Richards Bay
Junior Mendieta was on target as Mamelodi Sundowns claimed a vital 1-0 win against Richards Bay to maintain their winning start.
Mendieta was given his first Premier Soccer League start by coach Rhulani Mokwena after coming in as a substitute in the last two matches.
The Argentine rewarded the coach’s faith in the 11th minute when he exchanged passes with Lucas Ribeiro before firing home from 16-yards.
Sundowns had several good chances to get more goals, but they were not clinical enough in front of the goal.
At the end of 90 minutes, Downs had done enough to get another important win in the league.
