‘Brayan is striker Downs need but Cardoso is reason why Bafana failed! I can’t recognise my team, no coach’

Mamelodi Sundowns dislodged Orlando Pirates from the top of the Premier Soccer League title thanks to their 2-0 win over Orbit College on Tuesday night.

Brayan Leon impressed in his debut, as well as youngster Thato Sibiya, who played as a left-back. It was a massive win for coach Miguel Cardoso, who has been under pressure to deliver, especially domestically.

Have a look at what the fans said as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Why play with so many foreigners?

Miguel Cardoso Mamelodi Sundowns 3

Thato Sibiya is ready; he must get more game time. Well done team, happy for the win –  Dr Maheya

Aubrey Modiba might have some real competition on the left now. That Thato Sibiya boy has everything, he can mark, pass, create, invert, literally everything. I hope he doesn’t waste away on the bench; there’s too much potential –  Neville Stark

Please remind Cardoso that Bafana Bafana is going to the World Cup; he is one of the reasons why Bafana Bafana failed. Give South African players minutes as well – Andy wa Lesandawana

Why are we playing with so many foreigners? I cannot recognise my team anymore. It should’ve been 6-0. I am still not convinced – Katleho Success 

There is no coaching happening at Mamelodi Sundowns. Cardoso can’t coach these players. This team is not easy to watch. It’s enough. Now release this coach; South Africa is going to the World Cup – African Munene

We will be waiting for you at Pirates

Mandla Ncikazi and Abdeslam Ouaddou Orlando Pirates

Thank you to the team for the three points and credit to the coach for the win, and for refreshing the lineup. It was good to see young players getting a chance to play – Booi Mahluli

Even if we don’t win any trophies, I would still be happy if we keep playing more with most of today’s starting lineup. I will take these 3 points and run away. Kabo Yellow

Happy with the win, but not happy about that fraud, Miguel Cardoso. I’m not convinced – Ndurh Kweyama

We will be waiting for you at Orlando Stadium. Asked Chiefs what happened after asking to play against us in the Nedbank Cup a few seasons ago – Sheldon 

Brayan Leon is the striker we need. His off-the-ball runs are on point; he doesn’t move sideways. He is always in the central part of the box with accurate passes from Reisinho, he will score more goals for us – Khayelihle Nxumalo
