Tebogo Mokoena introduced a new celebration as he scored Mamelodi Sundowns’s first goal that helped them beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 2-1 in the Betway Premiership match at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night. MAMELODI Sundowns beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 2-1 at Loftus Versfeldon Wednesday night to maintain their 2026 Betway Premiership unbeaten run but their coach Miguel Cardoso left the field after 90 minutes a furious man. Goals by Teboho Mokoena (27th minute) and Iqraam Rayners (47th minute) gave Sundowns the three points to help them maintain theirleague title charge, where they are currently going toe-to-toe with Orlando Pirates.

Arrows’ consolation goal came from Sede Dion, who converted a penalty in 77th minute — perhaps the third and final incident of Cardoso’s frustrations. A few minutes before the penalty, in the 64th minute to be precise, Sundowns should have recorded their third goal when Nuno Santos stuck a grass cutter outside the box that Rayners converted with a deft back heel slice through his legs — that was the second incident that caused consternation for Cardoso. In the 51st minute,in form Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams received a deserved red card — maybe another reason for Cardoso’s iritations.

Referee Siyabulela Qunta got the two calls wrong — the penalty and ruling Rayners’ second goal offside. That cost Sundowns, as they retained second spot on the table due to goal difference behind Orlando Pirates, who beat Polokwane City 2-1 — also on Wednesday night.
