Sundowns Hammer Swallows To Book CAFCL Group Stages

Mamelodi Sundowns made light work of Mbabane Swallows again, beating them 4-0 on the night and 8-0 on aggregate to book their place in the CAF Champions League group stages.

Manqoba Mngqithi rang the changes after winning the first leg at the same venue 4-0 last weekend.

The Sundowns coach changed his complete starting XI, with Erwin Saavedra making his first appearance for Masandawana in 20 months. Thembinkosi Lorch also made his first start of the season, as did Rushine De Reuck, Malibongwe Khoza, Zuko Mdunyelwa, Divine Lunga and Kobamelo Kodisang.

The home side dominated proceedings in the first interval but hardly threatened the Swallows goal.

Sundowns eventually opened the scoring before the break after fine footwork by Divine Lunga saw him race through the Swallows defence before his cross found Kabomelo Kodisang unmarked at the far post for a tap-in.

Khoza made it 2-0 early in the second half after being on the end of a Lorch free-kick and converting with a powerful header.

Lorch himself made it 3-0 after 62 minutes, scoring his first of the campaign, while Spelelele Mkhulise made it 4-0 just three minutes later.
