Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango feels that as defending Nedbank Cup champions, the pressure is even greater.
Having won the Nedbank Cup last season by beating Bloemfontein Celtic in the final, Sundowns have reached the quarter-final stage this time around with a 3-2 win over Stellenbosch in the last 32 and a 4-0 win over second tier side Polokwane City in the round of 16.
“Well being the defending champions of the Nedbank cup it’s never easy defending such trophies," Onyango admitted, as quoted by the Sundowns website.
"Everyone will be gunning for us and the fact that we are also the league defending champions makes every game difficult, but we are used to such challenges and we are taking it one game at a time since we are getting closer to the final stretch of the season.
