Richard Mbulu delivered one of the most stunning goals of the season when he beat Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango with a curling effort to ensure that Baroka FC shared the spoils in an exciting league match played at the Old Peter Mokaba ...
Premiership leaders and defending champions Sundowns had appeared to be cruising to yet another victory as the final whistle approached in Limpopo, but Mbulu seemingly had other ideas. The ball was delivered towards the area as the final whistle approached but after Sundowns failed adequately to deal with the danger, a grateful Mbulu reacted fastest and sent a beauty of a shot that curled beyond a diving Onyango as it sailed into the back of the net.
The two sides had to settle for a share of the spoils after Lyle Lakay put Sundowns in the lead in the 48th minute before Mbulu's dramatic strike right at the death. New South American recruit, Bolivian midfielder Erwin Saavedra, won a free kick at the edge of the area in the 47th minute and grateful Lakay stepped up to deliver a breathtaking kick that gave the visitors the lead. Baroka goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze certainly did not know much about it and remained rooted to his goal line as Lakay's deceptive strike snaked to the back of the net.
