Atteridgeville - Mor Diouf’s 88th minute strike from within his own half secured all three points for SuperSport United against Tshwane rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in an Absa Premiership tie at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
 
Matsatsantsa ran out 1-0 victors on the day, but the Brazilians were very unlucky not to pick up a point on the day as they dominated proceedings.
