Apart from Magesi coach Clinton Larsen, very few gave the Betway Premiership rookies a chance to cause such a huge upset on Saturday night.

Before the dust even settles, expect every coach that has a media-friendly agent to be linked with Sundowns.

Such is the unfortunate nature of football, and Manqoba Mngqithi's capabilities will come under more scrutiny, but if we're being honest, Sundowns lost to a team that was well-drilled and showed no signs of fear throughout the 90 minutes.
