'Manqoba Mngqithi is smiling where he is! Mamelodi Sundowns are finished, but we need to be honest as South Africans about Ronwen Williams, Masandawana need a new goalkeeper' - Fans

Downs defeated a lower division team in a cup match in their backyard in Tshwane, but some of their key players endured a poor display.

Mamelodi Sundowns triumphed over ABC Motsepe League side Sibanye Golden Stars 5-2 at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday evening to advance to the Nedbank Cup Round of 16.

Tashreeq Matthews, Malibongwe Khoza, Arthur Sales, and Kobamelo Kodisang found the net for Masandawana, while Boeletsang Rankali and Mojalefa Mokhatla scored for the amateur team.

The Brazilians were not convincing in the second half of the encounter, leading fans to question the overall display of Miguel Cardoso's team after the game.

Here, GOAL presents some of the reactions shared by fans on social media.

It was very disappointing!
This was a very disappointing game, the first goal what was Terrance Mashego doing, second goal Mosa Lebusa was beaten, thirdly Williams is becoming too casual now and he'll cost us matches, and the last point Bathusi Aubaas that red was unnecessary honestly - Kay

Sundowns fans throwing the towel?
We can win 100 games in a row, but this is not it comrades. I’ve seen enough, this is not Mamelodi Sundowns FC!!!, it starts with the captain Williams to Khuliso Mudau, Aubass, and Arthur Sales, we will be lucky to win anything this season - Wildcat

He needs a competitor
We should buy a new goalkeeper to give Ronwen a challenge. He is getting big-headed and becoming too relaxed recently - Neo V Neo

They must be respected for fighting spirit
We should respect Sibanye Stars and their goalkeeper, they came prepared for this game and showed hunger. They were a better team in the second half - Introverted Kid
