		Sundowns beat relegation candidates Santos 2-0 at the Athlone Stadium here on Wednesday night to take the premier soccer title in the country.
		Sundowns were always threatening on attack, but despite their getting behind the Santos defence they could not get the ball in the back of the net for much of the first half.
		It was evident that Sundowns were keeping it tight at the back, while they used the counter to great effect.

		QUEENSTOWN -- Reigning Premier Soccer League champions Mamelodi Sundowns and Bush Bucks will be out to settle old scores when the two meet in a Rothmans Cup last 16 fixture at the Basil Kenyon Stadium on Sunday.
		Sundowns' public relations officer Alex Shakoane said they will be out to prove their 2-1 defeat by Bucks in the quarterfinals of the BobSave Super Bowl competition last season was a fluke and 'was given to Bucks by the referee'.
		Bucks general manager Sturu Pasiya said he was aware Sundowns will come with an intention of humiliating them, but Sundowns will make a mistake if they think Sunday's match is going to be a stroll in the park.

	Sundowns win Charity Cup 2005 - SouthAfrica.info
		PSL champions Kaizer Chiefs continued their shaky start to the season when they were beaten in the semi-finals of the Telkom Charity Cup at the weekend.

		The Sundowns name and logo was recently placed as one of the top 10 most recognised brand names in South Africa.

	Sunday Independent: Super-sub saves Dolezar's job
		Sundowns should, in fact, have sneaked a victory if Esrom Nyandoro's shot in injury time had gone a fraction to the left and if somebody got a touch to Siaka Tiene's shot across the face of goal.
		Without taking anything away from Sundowns, their earning a point from this match had as much to do with Ted Dumitru's decision to take off David Radebe as it did with Ngwenya's influence.
		Following last weekend's Coca-Cola Cup loss to Wits University after which Dolezar was escorted from the stadium as irate fans vented their disapproval of their coach's ways, it was generally believed that defeat to Chiefs would see the coach contributing to the country's ever-increasing ranks of the unemployed.

	Sundowns draw with Free State Stars
		Mamelodi Sundowns failed to take advantage of the loss of leaders Orlando Pirates to Kaizer Chiefs yesterday (Saturday), when they played to a goalless draw with Free State Stars in their Castle Premiership clash at the HM Pitje Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
		Sundowns should have opened the scoring a minute later when Vuyo Mere surged down the right wing before putting in a superb cross to the far post, but the unmarked Soga Sambo managed to put his side-footed effort over the bar from just six yards out.
		Stars created the better chances and Kauleza continued tormenting the Sundowns defence in the 32nd minute when he shot to the far post from the edge of the area, but Dudamel produced a good save to deny the striker.

		Yet dejected is not how the Sundowns players should have been at the final whistle given the way they started the match.
