Hat-trick hero Lebo Mothiba dazzles as Mamelodi Sundowns send strong warning to Bellingham's Borussia Dortmund by destroying USA clubs Miami and Sarasota

Mamelodi Sundowns recorded statement results in their preparations for the 29245 Fifa Club World Cup.

The Brazilians beat Miami FC 6-0 before posting a similar scoreline against Sarasota on Thursday, and although they were playing against lower league opponents, they seemed to send a message to their Club World Cup opponents.

It was a big win for the Brazilians, who are currently based in Florida, US, something that could motivate them ahead of the big tournament.

In the secomd match against Sarasota, Lebo Mothiba grabbed a hat-trick while captain Themba Zwane was also on the scoresheet.

The first game against Miami FC saw Peter Shalulile scoring a brace while Neo Maema was on target in both games..

Other scorers in both matches include Grant Kekana, Marcelo Allende, Teboho Mokoena and Kutlwano Letlhaku.

The major talking point right now is that coach Miguel Cardoso is sparingly using Zwane even after his captain recovered from injury in April.

The Bafana Bafana vice-captain was snubbed from both legs of the Caf Champions League against Pyramids.

His contribution in the win over Sarasota, as well as the backlash Cardoso has been enduring over Zwane, is something to be seen if the Portuguese will use the midfielder at the Club World Cup.

The Brazilians begin their Club World Cup campaign by facing South Korean side Ulsan HD on Wednesday.

They will then clash with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund three days later and then conclude their Group F campaign against Fluminense on June 25.
