Head coach Miguel Cardoso has revealed Mamelodi Sundowns' plan for striker Lebo Mothiba, who made his PSL competitive debut in a win against Magesi on Wednesday evening.
The Brazilians collected their second win of the season with a convincing 2-0 win over Magesi at Seshego Stadium on Wednesday night. Goals came from Jayden Adams and Peter Shalulile.

Significantly, the match also marked a much-awaited debut for experienced striker Lebo Mothiba.
The 28-year-old was signed by Sundowns at the start of March, and although delayed by injuries, was included in the squad that went to the FIFA Club World Cup in July.
Mothiba repaid Cardoso's faith with a goal at the global tournament, during a 4-3 defeat to German giants Borussia Dortmund.
"Mothiba was a player we knew could not play more than 20 minutes," Cardoso said.
"We need to be really careful with him. He is a wonderful player, a wonderful human being. He deserves all the respect from us.

"We are working very detailed with him. He has also been working very well with us so that we can give more and more time to every match after match."
Mothiba was given a run in Downs' MTN8 semi-final second leg clash against Orlando Pirates.
