Mamelodi Sundowns beat Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam 4-1 in a friendly game in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
Masandawana have continued their impressive pre-season form, picking up an impressive win against the side, which finished in sixth position in the Eredivisie last season.
Downs were in control in the first half, with the pace of Peter Shalulile troubling the opposition defence. It was also Shalulile who opened the score in the 23rd minute.
Sha Sha Sha completed his brace before the break, making it 2-0 for the visitors following a counter attack after 35 minutes.
New signing Lucas Ribeiro Costa was once again on the scoresheet to make it 3-0 after 57 minutes, before the home side pulled one back via Yüksel in the 76th minute.
However, it were the Masandawana, who wrote the last act in the trip with Thapelo Maseko scoring their fourth with a fine strike from distance in the 81st minute.
It was Sundowns’ second win against Dutch opposition after they beat Go Ahead Eagles 1-0 on Sunday. They remain unbeaten on their European tour, after starting it with a 2-2 draw against Belgian side KAA Gent.
