00:00So, Ribero Costa, from the penalty spot, and he comfortably does it, and Sundowns score
00:07through one of their own players for the first time this season.
00:11They lead very early on here by one goal to nil.
00:15Is it appropriate to say, ladies and gentlemen, Sundowns have scored?
00:20Because they haven't for four games now, or three games, but then this was the time when they had to score.
00:27Through a penalty, yes, it can be questionable, yes, it is a goal, but now let's see them gaining confidence,
00:33scoring from the run of play, but well-taken penalty there.
00:38Yeah, Keeper going completely the wrong way, and what it also means is that Tiwani will settle down very quickly.
00:44You have a number of defenders on the bench.
00:46They've got Magnana, they've got Lamini, and they've got Maggia, the man who scored in the last round.
00:50This is how the scoring started, from a penalty, beautifully put away by Ribero Costa.
00:59That's a good corner, and a free header, so easily done, and Sundowns double their lead.
01:06The congratulations go, I think, to Lebousa.
01:10We'll just confirm that.
01:12It's a man who scores frequently with a head, yeah, he's the man getting the congratulations.
01:16Congratulations, Moussa Leboussa, welcome born, he rose up high,
01:21and even though they have big defenders in the Zimbabwe Swallow side, powerless to stop him.
01:26Just have a look at that, it's a free header, it's an easy header, the goalkeeper's hemmed in,
01:30he's got nowhere to go, in fact, it's his own player who's keeping the ball out,
01:34and Pelisso Newman, who's standing in front of him, doesn't allow him to get to the ball.
01:38That's one of the easiest goals that Leboussa will ever score.
01:41Sundowns 2-0 up on 18 minutes.
01:43To make it 1-0 after just a few minutes, and then a very easy free header here from Leboussa.
01:49No trouble at all, the goalkeeper hemmed in.
01:54Here is Reiners.
01:56I think I said it was Morena, in fact, it was Morena following, it is the out ball,
02:01and it's a very effective out ball because of the pace that Morena has on that pass,
02:05that's lovely play, now what sort of cross is delivered into the box, nobody there to finish.
02:09That's a lovely pass again, if it can be controlled, it is controlled,
02:12Morena doing beautifully to pluck that one out of the air,
02:15now the line-up opportunity's going on the outside, is there a finish?
02:18Oh, that's a brilliant goal, that is a fantastic goal,
02:22and Sundowns have made it 3-0,
02:25and Ekran Reiners has scored for the first time in Brazilian colours,
02:29a man who, as I say, scored 5 last season in a single game.
02:33Oh yes, the trickery was unreal, that's what I was going to refer to,
02:37look at that, it's just skipping, and Reiners was sharp as a razor there in the box,
02:43that's what you need, quick strikers that can just seize the opportunity.
02:49He took it so well, he really did, scored 5 in a game,
02:52the last time I saw a player score 5,
02:55and in fact he was the fastest ever hat-trick in South African football,
02:58I'm going back now, Marks, probably to about 2000,
03:01and now the line-up opportunity's going on the outside, is there a finish?
03:04Oh, that's a brilliant goal, that is a fantastic goal,
03:08and Sundowns have made it 3-0,
03:11and Ekran Reiners has scored for the first time in Brazilian colours,
03:15a man who, as I say, scored 5 last season in a single game,
03:19even Ronwyn Williams is going to congratulate his Bafana Bafana teammates,
03:23they love this man, they love Icky,
03:26and he's put his side 3-0 up inside 40 minutes,
03:31lovely finish, but the build-up work there was outstanding.
03:34Oh yes, the trickery was unreal, that's what I was going to refer to,
03:37look at that, it's just skipping, and Reiners was sharp as a razor there in the box,
03:43that's what you need, quick strikers that can just seize the opportunity.
03:49He took it so well, he really did, scored 5 in a game,
03:52the last time I saw a player score 5,
03:55and in fact he was the fastest ever hat-trick in South African football,
03:58I'm going back now, Marks, probably to about 2006-2007.
04:03Now it's now threatening again, are they going to get a fourth?
04:05You bet they are, you bet they are,
04:08and it's a brace for the Brazilian,
04:10Ribera Costa started the scoring tonight,
04:13and he scored the fourth goal in the 54th minute,
04:16beautifully taken goal and clinical finish with the left foot,
04:20and that's a very, very educated left foot,
04:23lovely move though from Sundowns,
04:25and well rounded off, and they're not finished, they want more.
04:28They want more, but the way he also received that ball,
04:32it was the teammate not selfish, just kept it for him,
04:36and made sure, there we go, and just skipped it for him,
04:40and then the defender doesn't know who actually has the ball.
04:45That was a nice trick there.
04:47I think it's the reverse of the previous goal,
04:49because the previous goal, Costa set it up for Reiners,
04:52that time Reiners set it up for Costa,
04:54so all teamwork, as you said, Peter Shalulile as well.
04:59Good for Shalulile, I think, to get on the scorecard.
05:02Now, is there going to be something at the other end?
05:05One situation, the ball is wide,
05:07now they need Shalulile, he's lurking in the box,
05:09is his first touch going to settle it?
05:11Oh, he can't finish it, and the ball eventually is put wide.
05:14Great job, and that would have been the perfect introduction,
05:17and the script which Mafa started writing five minutes ago,
05:21was almost...
05:22Look at Shalulile, he's there,
05:24the defender comes across just in the nick of time,
05:26it's a good save from the goalkeeper,
05:27and in the end, the defender almost puts it into his own net.
05:30Huge drama, and if Shashad scored there,
05:33well, well, in the centre, wants the ball,
05:36calling for a nice lay-off, and the shot in the end is messy,
05:39and the follow-up is wide.
05:41I think it might have been an offside position for this man,
05:44the Namibian, look at him, lays it off there,
05:46and then makes the run forward, and just can't control it.
05:49I wonder if he was in an offside position,
05:51because he comes off the defender initially,
05:53so maybe it would have been...
05:54Nice, freed up a bit of space, does he take a shot?
05:56No, he sets it up here for goal number five,
05:58no, great save from the goalkeeper.
06:00Well, this goalkeeper, anyway, as it comes in here,
06:03you see him, there's nothing wrong really,
06:05he struck that really well.
06:07The ball going across him could have made...
06:09Look forward to seeing how they perform this season,
06:11they've made some very, very good signings.
06:13There's their goal here, oh, that was so nicely done,
06:16it was a wonderful bit of build-up.
06:18The lay-off, where's Chaludine?
06:20There he is in the box, tries the little backheel,
06:22creates beautifully, and...
