Royal AM will be aiming to change things here. Mamelodi Sundowns’ goal came from Amethyst Bradley Ralani (89′). The figures tell the story: Royal AM has been scored against in six of their previous six games, with their opponents scoring 11 goals in total. Royal AM’s flaws have been uncovered at the rear.
