“I was shocked by how Mamelodi Sundowns fans beat up one of their own at a petrol station in Polokwane after the match. That was wrong in every way imaginable!”

Elsewhere, the Daily Sun reported on how another video showed jubilant Pirates invading the pitch following the final whistle. They had every reason to be, as their team had not beaten Sundowns since early 2020.

Orlando Pirates was at full value for their 3-0 against Mamelodi Sundowns, in the second leg of their MTN8 semi-final.

Kermit Erasmus opened the scoring for the Buccaneers before Monnapule Saleng's brace buried the Brazilians, who were convincingly outplayed over the two legs, as reported by Sports Brief.

Junior Khanye, the popular Diski TV pundit who was convinced that Sundowns would win the tie, graciously admitted how wrong he was. Before the match, Khanye had predicted that Sundowns could win by as many as four goals.
