He gave credit to the players for their hard work and effort, noting that
the team created a lot of chances. Mokwena also likened Sundowns to
Manchester City, saying that although many teams know how they create
their chances, it is the players who make the difference.

Themba Zwane and Bongani Zungu, as well as the leadership of Shalulile.
Sundowns will now progress to the quarter-finals of the Nedbank Cup,
