BackpageWith respect, I still think Ronwen Williams needs serious competition for his position. Iron sharpens iron. Denis might retire soon. My two cents' worth - Sabelo Lethokuhle Kubheka
BackpagepixSundowns made sure that Nigeria shakes when they hear the word South Africa - Marella Beings Desiģñer
BackpageThis Remo Stars were surprised to see a team that plays their away game like they are at home; scoring five away goals in the CAF Champions League is not for everyone – others lost by three goals in DRC - Sphile Bheshwini Nongalo
BackpageCome Monday morning, they will be sending letters to FIFA to complain about something/anything to try to deduct goals or get a free win. I know them! - Paseka Hlatshwayo
BackpageOkay, let me admit it publicly. For the first time Cardoso's leadership gave us more than three goals in a game. Congratulations to Masandawana. Just a small food for thought, we should have scored more than 10 goals if our players were not making silly mistakes by not making scoring an urgency - Vussi Lesley
BackpageWe don't need to celebrate as Sundowns fans; it's obvious when it comes to CAF we are doing good. That is why Hugo decided to use our players for AFCON, and then the boys came back with a bronze medal. We are one of the best teams in Africa, Lamthuthu FC with a good history. That is the difference - Bosvark Mohau
BackpageSundowns just give the DDC team the chance to play the second leg in Loftus next week - Rorisang Matsoake
BackpageI give flowers where it's due; Coach did well. Here we played our way in difficult circumstances; we played and we attacked throughout. This is the Sundowns we all wanted to see. Thank you, coach. Let's build up. On this perfect performance - Evangelist M Kalo
BackpageIf Mothiba can be given a fair chance too, there's a lot he is going to give Sundowns; he is good, unselfish, strong, and good both high and on the ground - Mphumzi Mkoteli
BackpagepixWe must not forget how we criticised the coach about Matthews and how we spoke down on his tactics and style of play. We must apologise because more big things can be expected from these lethal Sundowns. We are still cooking, but signs are beginning to show - Azah Mphago
