Nedbank Cup: Mamelodi Sundowns star Sirino charms Twitter after sublime performance
Mamelodi Sundowns thumped Summerfield Dynamos 5-0 in Saturday's Nedbank Cup quarter-final match at Loftus Versfeld.
A brace by Kermit Erasmus and other strikes by Gaston Sirino, Lesedi Kapinga and Pavol Safranko handed the Brazilians the big victory.
It was another convincing win for Sundowns in this competition, where they have scored 15 goals and have not conceded in three games.
Sirino was on fire on Saturday, adding three assists on top of his goal and he deservedly was named Man of the Match.
Fans on social media took time to take their hats off for the Uruguayan.
Sirino or Ralani?

Our coaches are having nice life problems at Mamelodi Sundowns shem. 🤞🏿
Sirino is a star. I love him and the wsy he is. Very simple, calm and quick on making accurate decisions. Mamelodi Sundowns knows how to approach each game. The team is about to cross the line and celebrations begin. ITS A TEAM: ITS A FAMILY!

Next time tell him when you play Cup games. I heard him talking about getting 3points. pic.twitter.com/kTlcVf9Tef
One thing about Gaston Sirino and Lesedi Kapinga they are not selfish.

Konje Gaston Sirino directly contributed 4goals in 1game then kunabo Lazarous Kambole who contributed 1goal since 2019. Masibusane Zongo is right. https://t.co/Lfeja9l8Mu pic.twitter.com/LY09zd6FVU

Sundowns' dominance of South African football is becoming boring for some fans, who says it's almost obvious that they will win any game.
"The viewership in Sundowns matches continues to drop. Majority of viewers are tired of watching a team that has a 98% chance of winning. They always win. People are just tired. And that majority keep on getting disappointed every night Sundowns is on TV."

Sundowns have made 10 changes to their XI for today. Only one foreigner in the starting lineup (Sirino). I think this team would beat the Bafana Bafana selection that started against France recently.

This would be the most painful Trophy to the opposition fans, should Mamelodi Sundowns win the #NedbankCup2022 because we have had an "easy" run 🤣🤣🤣
