• Mamelodi Sundowns paid Orlando Pirates back in the most brutal fashion possible after the humiliation of the MTN8 semifinals
• The Brazilians absolutely hammered the Buccaneers 4-0 in the final of the 2022 Carling Black Label Cup
• The match was effectively over in the first 35 minutes as Sundowns made light work of a shell-shocked Pirates

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Mamelodi Sundowns was in a ruthless mood as they destroyed Orlando Pirates 4-0 in the final of the 2022 Carling Black Label Cup at Soccer City on Saturday evening.

It all started going wrong in the 21st minute of the encounter for the Buccaneers when Tapelo Xoki was sent off for a horrible tackle on Haashim Domingo. This left a hole in the Bucs defence that Sphelele Mkhulise exploited with the opener just two minutes later.

Sundowns then doubled the lead in the 33rd minute courtesy of a simple movement within the Pirates' box that Grant Kekana converted. Hardly a blink later, Cassius Mailula effectively ended the match as a contest with another easy goal to make it three, with Mpontshane all at sea.

Cassius Mailula then made it 4-0 in the 67th minute once the match had turned into a training session for the ruthless team from Pretoria with a simple shot from outside the box as the Pirates defenders backed off him. With that goal, the record for the most goals in a single Carling Black Label Cup match was broken.
