Mamelodi Sundowns coach Mngqithi berates his players for 'embarrassing' Orlando Pirates

Sunday was the third time Bucs have lost to Masandawana this term, losing 1-0 in the first round league match and 4-1 in a Nedbank Cup quarter-final

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi was displeased with the behaviour of some of his players during Sunday’s 3-0 league win over Orlando Pirates at the Orlando Stadium.

After a goalless first half in Orlando on Sunday, Downs took the lead 12 minutes after the restart through a Ricardo Nascimento penalty.

The game remained tight, but then two goals in four minutes - Peter Shalulile scored in the 76th minute and Lyle Lakay sunk a sublime 80th-minute free-kick - made the result safe for the visitors from Pretoria.
