MAMELODI Sundowns welcomed their new Portuguese gem, Nuno Santos, with open arms, and he repaid their faith in style.

- HERMAN GIBBS

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder, who joined from Vitória Guimarães SC for a reported R20 million, made his mark on the field at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, leading the team to an uplifting victory over Richards Bay.

Santos, who made a cameo appearance last week against Golden Arrows, was handed his first start on Saturday and showcased why he is considered a valuable addition to the squad. Earning the Player of the Match award, he delivered a stellar performance that included two significant assists with stunning long-distance passes, which resulted in goals.

In a post-match interview, Santos expressed heartfelt gratitude towards his teammates for their warm welcome.
