Sundowns’ Cardoso on Mailula – ‘This boy is ours’
Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso said it is clear Cassius Mailula feels at home after the striker came off the bench to net his second goal of the season in Saturday’s 1-1 Betway Premiership draw with Kaizer Chiefs.
Mailula magic for Sundowns
Mailula headed home within seconds of coming on to grab a point for Masandawana in a hard-fought clash at FNB Stadium.
The 25-year-old Mailula, returned to Sundowns for a second spell this season. He left Sundowns in 2023 to join Toronto FC and also had loan spells at Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca and Belgian side KV Kortrijk.
“Cassius … showed a lot of intention to come to the club. As soon as he came and started to train I saw that this boy is ours,” said Cardoso.
“He feels at home, he is happy and the best thing in life is when your emotions are positive towards what you do.
“No one should go out in the morning and not like what they do, or come home and not like their family.”
Mailula certainly seems to have added depth to Sundowns’ options in attack this season.
“Last year for a lot of the time, not publicly, but it was clear that I was appealing and asking for more options up front, so we could have more variety of players,” added Cardoso.
‘This season is a bit better’
“We struggled to have the capacity to put players in up front and to have energy.
“This season is a bit better. Some youngsters still show that they lack the capacity to decide in the best way what to do. They want an extra dribble or a shot on goal too early. But they are also being given an opportunity to grow.
“Sometimes the price is that you don’t get the result but they are doing well.”
The 19-year-old Bennet Mokoena certainly came on to good effect against Chiefs, while 22-year-old new signing Siyanda Ndlovu also came off the bench and had an impact.
Sundowns will now take on Marumo Gallants in their next Premiership match at Loftus Stadium on Wednesday.
Nomlomo: Bulls lacked energy in first half
Vodacom Bulls XV coach Phiwe Nomlomo was disappointed with his side’s 62-52 defeat to the Cheetahs at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday despite a courageous comeback.
The Bulls trailed 47-17 at half-time before producing a vastly improved second-half performance to get back to within seven points, but ultimately suffered a fifth consecutive Currie Cup defeat.
“Disappointing once again,” Nomlomo said. “The game was nearly done in the first half. We did well to claw back as well as we did, but it remains disappointing.
“The shining light is how we expressed ourselves during the second half. We had a lot more intent; we were direct, moved the ball well and looked after our breakdown.
“All of a sudden, we handled everything we wanted to in the game, but 40 minutes later.”

Nomlomo was particularly concerned by the Bulls’ sluggish first-half display.
“We weren’t as accurate as we wanted to be during the first half. It looked like we lacked energy, which is unlike us, so those things were quite concerning.
“In the second half we changed it all together; that’s the part; it’s a mental game.”
The Bulls now face a short turnaround before hosting the Stormers XXIII in a north-south derby on Friday. The Cape side is also desperate for log points after losing 29-7 to the Pumas in Nelspruit on Saturday, a result that dealt another blow to their playoff hopes.

“Again, it’s a quick turnaround from Sunday to Friday. We must get bodies as fresh as possible,” Nomlomo said.
“It’s going to be brutal. It’s a north-south derby, so it goes without saying that it will be another match full of intensity.
“It’s going to be fire. They’ll want to win here, and we’re desperate for our first win.
“They will want to keep their playoff chances alive, and we’ll be fighting to get a win, so it will be another humdinger for sure.”

Currie Cup result: Cheetahs survive Bulls fightback in Loftus try-fest
The Cheetahs produced a sensational attacking display before surviving a spirited second-half comeback from the Vodacom Bulls XV to claim victory in a Currie Cup classic at Loftus on Sunday.
The visitors blew the Bulls away in the first half, scoring seven tries to take a commanding 47-17 lead into the break.
The Bulls fought back strongly after half-time, but the Cheetahs had built enough of a cushion to withstand the hosts’ late charge, even after being reduced to 13 men for the final 10 minutes – to win a humdinger 62-52.
The bonus-point win takes the Cheetahs back to second on the log, behind Griquas on points difference, after five rounds, with the winless Bulls still rooted to the bottom.
Frantic first half
It was a frantic opening 40 minutes, with the Cheetahs crossing for their first try inside three minutes through winger Michael Annies, with flyhalf Jaco van der Walt adding the conversion.
The Bulls responded five minutes later when lanky winger Riyaad Bam crossed in the eighth minute, although the conversion was missed.
The Cheetahs quickly regained control, however, with centre Zander du Plessies scoring their second try in the 14th minute before Prince Nkabinde crossed three minutes later. Van der Walt converted both tries to stretch the visitors’ advantage.
The Bulls hit back in the 20th minute when hooker Siphosethu Mnebelele powered over, with scrumhalf Keagan Johannes adding the conversion.
But the Cheetahs continued to tear through the Bulls defence, with Annies grabbing his second try in the 24th minute.
Flank Kebotile Maake gave the Bulls another boost when he crossed for their third try, although the conversion was again missed.
But the final 10 minutes of the half belonged to the visitors as they ran in a further three tries through Nkabinde, captain Neels Voschenk and fullback Cohen Jasper.
Jasper added his second try shortly after the restart, with Van der Walt converting to stretch the lead further.
Lock Victor Sekekete then crossed in the 53rd minute, although Van der Walt missed the conversion.
The Bulls refused to surrender, however, with debutant Marnus Rademeyer scoring in the 56th minute. Johannes converted before replacement Brooklyn Newman crossed six minutes later, with the scrumhalf again adding the extras.
The hosts’ momentum was then boosted further when the Cheetahs were reduced to 13 men for the final 10 minutes after a yellow card and a 20-minute red card.
The Bulls capitalised on their numerical advantage as replacement loose forward Nizaam Carr, Rademeyer, and flyhalf Devon Williams all crossed, with Johannes converting.
But the deficit proved too large to overcome, with replacement fullback Tiaan Swanepoel kicking a penalty goal for the Cheetahs after the hooter.
BULLS XV – Tries: Riyaad Bam, Siphosethu Mnebelele, Kebotile Maake, Marnus Rademeyer (2), Brooklyn Newman, Nizaam Carr, Devon Williams. Conversion: Keagan Johannes (6).
CHEETAHS – Tries: Michael Annies (2), Zander du Plessis, Prince Nkabinde (2), Neels Volschenk, Cohen Jasper (2), Victor Sekekete. Conversions: Jaco van der Walt (7). Penalty: Tiaan Swanepoel.
