'Every time we play Stellenbosch we always sweat' - Mamelodi Sundowns' Mngqithi relieved after narrow win

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi was a relieved man after his side secured a hard-fought win over Stellenbosch FC on Wednesday evening.

The Brazilians claimed a 3-2 extra-time victory over Stellies in the Nedbank Cup Last 32 game which was played at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.

Sundowns looked destined to win 2-1 after Gaston Sirino scored in the first minute of stoppage time, but Stellenbosch grabbed a late equalising goal through Phathutshedzo Nange.
