Antonio van Wyk’s 90+4 equaliser rescued Mamelodi Sundowns at Buffalo City Stadium on Saturday, 12 September 2026, as the Betway Premiership leaders were held 1–1 by Chippa United in one of the weekend’s most gripping games. Substitute Sirgio Kammies had put the Chilli Boys ahead with his first touch, and Masandawana needed until the fourth minute of stoppage time to save a point.

First Half: Chippa Grow Into It
Downs attacked down the right in the opening exchanges and looked the more organised side, but Chippa United settled quickly. Justice Figuareido began to influence proceedings, and by the closing stages of the half the hosts looked the more likely to break the deadlock. The sides went in level at 0–0.
Second Half: Kammies Strikes, Van Wyk Answers
The turning point that should have settled it came in the 61st minute, when Cassius Mailula slipped at the decisive moment with the goal at his mercy. Chippa made him pay seventeen minutes later. Khaya Mfecane squared the ball from the left and substitute Sirgio Kammies, on the pitch barely a moment, steered it home with the outside of his foot.
Sundowns pushed. Mailula’s low 83rd-minute delivery towards Iqraam Rayners was cut out. Then, in the fourth minute of added time, Thapelo Morena’s cross was punched clear only as far as Antonio van Wyk — introduced in the 72nd minute — who lashed a deflected strike beyond the goalkeeper to level it.

What It Means at the Top of the Betway Premiership
Sundowns stay top and stay unbeaten, but two points dropped in East London have narrowed the gap on the chasing pack — with Orlando Pirates holding games in hand. For a side that has made winning fixtures like this routine, needing a 94th-minute leveller is a warning about chance conversion rather than a cause for celebration.
Chippa United deserve enormous credit. They frustrated the champions for 78 minutes, took their moment when it came, and were seconds from one of the results of the season.
Betting Insights
- Late goals: Another stoppage-time Sundowns goal. Live betting and “goal in the final 10 minutes” markets keep paying on Masandawana matches.
- Underdog value: Chippa at home against top-four opposition remain a genuine draw and double-chance play.
- Chance conversion: Sundowns create far more than they score — handicap and correct-score markets carry more risk than their dominance suggests.
- Substitute impact: Both goals came from players off the bench. “Substitute to score” and anytime-scorer markets on squad players have value in this league.

Player of the Match: Sirgio Kammies
One touch, one goal, and very nearly a famous Chippa United victory. Kammies changed the game the moment he entered it, and only a freak late deflection denied him the headline he deserved.
Final Word
Van Wyk’s 90+4 equaliser preserved the unbeaten record and the top spot, but this was a reminder that the Betway Premiership hands Mamelodi Sundowns nothing for free. Chippa United were the better side for the decisive twenty minutes and leave with a point that should give them belief.
