South African side sit top of Group F
In control: The Sundowns have a deserved lead at half-time
Ulsan HD vs Mamelodi Sundowns - LIVE!
Kick-off was delayed for more than an hour but it was worth the wait for Mamelodi Sundowns. The South African side held on to secure a deserved 1-0 win over Ulsan HD in their opening Club World Cup match to give them real hope of reaching the knockout stages.
Ulsan’s domestic season in South Korea is ongoing but they were unable to make the most of that advantage. Iqraam Rayners scored three times in the first-half but only one of those stood, as first a VAR review for handball and then the linesman’s flag denied him, but his one goal proved to be the winner.
The Group F action got underway earlier today, when Borussia Dortmund played out a goalless draw with Fluminense. The two remain the favourites to progress into the last-16, but the Sundowns know that a positive result against either of them could be enough for them to reach the knockout stages instead.

90+3 mins: The Sundowns look a bit torn between trying to score a second or just going to the corner.
They go for neither, passing it all the way back to Williams in goal instead. Nearly there.

90 mins: Five minutes added on.
The Sundowns are passing it around near enough at walking pace. Ulsan look to have just run out of a bit of energy.

87 mins: It’s all Ulsan now.
Corner bounces around in the Sundowns’ box, defending is not particularly convincing.
Eventually it bobbles out for a goal-kick.

83 mins: Well then...
Referee says Williams holds the ball in his hands too long and awards a corner for Ulsan!
How costly will that be? Flicked on at the near post... but behind.

80 mins: Should be game over.
3-on-1 for the Sundowns, ball slid through to Ribeiro.
Opts against the shot from close range, flicks it across the face of goal and it’s scrambled away.
Ulsan go close at the other end, Cupido throws his body in the way to save the day.

78 mins: Trojak slices a clearance out of play - the Sundowns in no rush to get someone up to take this throw-in.
Delay anyway as an Ulsan player has gone down with what looks like cramp. I’d be surprised if he was time-wasting...

74 mins: The Sundowns have been good enough to be two or three goals up, but this match is still in the balance.
Ulsan not yet throwing the kitchen sink at it - can’t be far away.

70 mins: Mokoena has been shooting all night - more of the same here?
Of course. Sends this one low into the wall. Think it might be time to give someone else a go.

69 mins: Clever from the Sundowns on the edge of the Ulsan area, quick feet to create the space.
And they win a free-kick 20 yards out... trouble for Ulsan.
