Former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mashego has doubts if any team can stop the formidable Brazilians after extending their winning run against the Buccaneers.
Sundowns clinched a narrow 1-0 victory at Orlando Stadium in a tense DStv Premiership clash.
"I think it was expected and it was nothing new as Sundowns have the pedigree and the experience," Mashego tells KickOff.

"I don't know who can stop them, but like I said they came into this game with many wins behind them.
"As a former Pirates and Sundowns player I'm not disappointed or happy.
"As I said, I expected Sundowns to win given their form, position on the log and everything."
Mashego says fans shouldn't be harsh on Pirates coach Jose Riveiro for omitting new signing Makhehlene Makhaula.
"I don't know if his inclusion would have made a difference.
"Maybe the coach wanted consistency from last week's team. Remember Pirates were also doing well before the Sundowns game.
"Sometimes we hammer coaches for playing with three defensive midfielders, forgetting that the likes of Monare and Miguel Timm can push forward and score, Mosele Goodman has also scored from outside the box.
"The Pirates coach wanted to dominate Sundowns from the midfield position.
"The idea was to have more numbers and legs."
