Muniz Makes Instant Impact as Sundowns Extend Title Push

Debut Delight for Muniz in Sundowns’ 2–0 Win Over Orbit

New signing Brayan Muniz made an immediate impact for Mamelodi Sundowns, scoring on debut as the champions secured a comfortable 2–0 victory over Orbit College.

Sundowns took control early and were rewarded in the 26th minute when Arthur Sales opened the scoring with a composed right-footed finish from inside the box. The goal set the tone for a dominant display, with the hosts dictating possession and tempo throughout the first half.

The second period belonged to Muniz. Introduced at the break, the Colombian forward wasted little time announcing himself, rising highest in the 65th minute to power home a header from Thato Sibiya’s pinpoint cross. It was a striker’s finish that underlined why Sundowns moved quickly to bring him in.

Orbit College showed resilience and threatened sporadically, but Sundowns’ defensive organisation ensured goalkeeper Williams remained largely untroubled. The hosts continued to create chances late on, with Muniz going close to a second and Miguel Reisinho testing the keeper in stoppage time.

The clean sheet and convincing performance further reinforced Sundowns’ depth, while Muniz’s goal will excite supporters eager to see how quickly the new arrival can settle into the champions’ attacking rhythm.

Scorers:
Sales (26’), Muniz (65’)
Final score: Mamelodi Sundowns 2–0 Orbit College
