Sundowns' substitutes swung the tie, admits Sekhukhune boss Eric Tinkler after defeat
Nuno Santos opened the scoring for the Brazilians in stoppage time at the end of the match after being set up by Khuliso Mudau. Both players were introduced by Downs boss Miguel Cardoso as two of five changes made after the break.
Brayan Leon netted a second a few minutes later to seal a dramatic last-gasp win, and lift Sundowns four points clear of Orlando Pirates at the top of the standings, and leave Sekhukhune down in fourth, six points below the Brazilians.
Speaking after the match, a pragmatic Tinkler told SuperSport: "The quality they have they brought off the bench. We manage to contain them for 90 minutes but yeah, added time one mistake and we got punished.
"And then obviously then the second one really doesn't count because we have to open ourselves to it to try to attack again to equalise and we get caught on the counter.
"Like I said, you cannot deny the quality that Sundowns have."
Sekhukhune will look to reignite their campaign away to TS Galaxy at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
