Mamelodi Sundowns moved to the top of the DStv Premiership standings with a 2-0 win over a wasteful Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday evening.
Sundowns were bolstered by the return of Themba Zwane in place of Sphelele Mkhulise while Amakhosi handed Thabani Dube his first start at the expense of Bernard Parker.
The home side got off to the perfect start after Grant Kekana powered home a header into the top corner at the back post after a cross by Lyle Lakay in the seventh minute.
Stuart Baxter's charges looked dangerous whenever they were in attack, as Keagan Dolly came close to finding the equaliser in the 21st minute after running at the defence and unleashed a low strike that missed the bottom corner by a whisker.
Samir Nurkovic should have levelled matters for Chiefs just before the half-hour mark after Dolly's cross looped over shot-stopper Denis Onyango, who over-committed, leaving the goals open but the Serbian guided his header over the bar.
Nurkovic wasted another big chance on the stroke of half-time, after missing the ball with an attempted volley from close range after an exquisite back-heel by Khama Billiat.
