Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coach Rulani Mokwena has warned that the best is yet to come from the Brazilians.
By their high standards Sundowns had a shaky start to the season with a win against Cape Town City followed by a loss to TS Galaxy.
Although a draw against Sekhukhune United and a loss to SuperSport United dented their momentum, the Brazilians still managed to deliver a 4-0 thrashing of Kaizer Chiefs and a 3-0 hammering of Stellenbosch.

"I hear a lot of doubts, but I don't know where the doubts are coming from," said Mokwena.
"Because when a team like ours is winning, even when we are not at our best, and we know that we are not at our best and we know the reasons why we are not at our best. We know we will get to a team that is fluid and is playing the way we want from most parts of the game."
After eight games played, Masandawana are sitting at the top of the DStv Premiership table with a two-point lead and are the highest scoring team with 14 goals netted so far. Goal-wise only Royal AM are in reasonable touching distance with 10 goals scored.
Despite the initial first stumble, Sundowns look to have steadied the ship, with just one loss in their last five matches. For Mokwena, this is only the beginning.
"I think everyone knows there will come a time when Sundowns is not conceding goals and is scoring goals, and is playing with fluidity. That's going to come," he added.
Sundowns will have a chance to prove their credentials when they host host fifth placed AmaZulu on Sunday.
