It was a Lucas Ribeiro Costa show as log-leaders Mamelodi Sundowns crushed AmaZulu 3-0 in a DStv Premiership encounter at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Tuesday evening.
After a goalless draw at half-time, the Brazilians pushed hard and their efforts were rewarded when Ribeiro netted his first goal three minutes into the second half.
The 25-year-old Brazilian doubled the Tshwane giants’ lead 10 minutes later and he completed his hattrick 12 minutes before full-time.
