Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Katlego Ntsabeleng has made a claim that they are destined to defend their Betway Premiership title should they continue with a similar performance as tonight.
Masandawana returned to the summit of the standings after thumping Chippa United 4-1 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Friday night.

The defending champions were first to break the deadlock through Marcelo Allende in the 21st minute before Iqraam Rayners doubled the score in the 37th minute with Ntsabeleng providing a beautiful assist.
Sinoxolo Kwayiba grabbed a consolation for the Chilli Boys in the 39th minute, but the home side proved too strong in the second half with strikes from Tashreeq Matthews and Brayan Leon Muniz.
Ntsabeleng made mention of the pressure it comes with playing for the Brazilians saying he believes that he’s slowly grabbing his chance.
“It means a lot to get this award. First of all, I would like to thank the Almighty for just giving me the opportunity to express the talent he’s given me,” Ntsabeleng said on SuperSport TV.
“We all know playing for Mamelodi Sundowns, it comes with pressure, and when you get a chance you have to take it, and I think I’m doing my best at that.
“I think I started a bit slow, but as I got used to the team everything went well.
“I think it’s the things we work on in training, just shooting outside the box, creating space for each other, complimentary runs as you can see it’s all coming together now.
“It means a lot for the fans to come out in numbers. We need them, it’s a title race and it’s a difficult one this year because all the teams are going head to head.
“But, I believe we gonna come out on top if we keep playing the way we are.”
