'Lucas Ribeiro should be benched for selfishness & greed! But this is Mamelodi Sundowns we ordered not Magubane (Manqoba Mngqithi)'s fast and furious' - Fans

    What a second half! Credit to Stellies

    Wow, what a second half! At times it was end-to-end and just brilliant. Credit to Sundowns they deserved the win they showed their quality. But also credit to Stellies who have just come back from the Caf Confederation Cup game but put in the work rate and effort to stay in the fight well done to both teams -  Motshedi Joel Tsheola

    Well done Cardoso

    Well done to our master tactician Miguel Cardoso for the second victory as Sundowns coach. We started strongly and could have buried the match in the first. Our second half was not so good but I'm glad that Cardoso's boys fought to the end. We are Mamelodi Sundowns -  Joe Seph

    Lunga was so good

    I personally feel that Devine Lunga was so good today. If I had to choose a man of the match, I'd definitely give it to him. Good shift by the team as a whole. We appreciate the 3 points, let's not forget that Stellenbosch is a good team - Kwanele Zulu

    Come up with plan to unlock defenses

    Stellenbosch were not parking the bus, it made it possible for us to play and create chances. Good game from both teams. I hope we will have a plan to unlock the defenses of teams who park the bus - Promise Malape Mohlala

    The midfield was dead

    I believe you can do way better than this. I understand the coach is trying different combinations but our midfield was dead in the second half. You can't play Maema and Modiba because Aubaas was struggling -  Samkele Batyi

    Onyango saved the game

    Denis Onyango still have some energy, he saved the game for us - Polite Dube

    Ribeiro needs to pass the ball

    Lunga played like a super star today, Ribeiro need to pass the ball, other than that l'm happy with the win, not every team can win against this stubborn team -  Brian Mpofu

    This is what we wanted to see, even if you lose but at least show hunger. Cardoso installed a fighting spirit in these boys - PK Parera

    Not Magubane's first & furious

    This is the Sundowns we ordered not that fast and furious of Magubane [Manqoba Mngqithi] -  Bhudda Ncelz

    Greedy & selfish Ribeiro should be benched

    Ribeiro should be benched for the next game or so, He has developed an attitude of being selfish and greedy with the ball, always trying to score even when the opportunity to pass is there, such greedy players sometimes cost us games - Lesson ST Bronze
