GALLERY: Mamelodi Sundowns beat SuperSport United to progress in Nedbank Cup

Scroll through a selection of the best images from the feisty Nedbank Cup affair between Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United in the Tshwane derby.

It was a high intensity, tightly contested match-up between the two rivals, as suggested in the 1-0 scoreline that led to Sundowns progressing to the Last 16 while SuperSport were sent packing.

Kaitano Tembo made three changes from his side's previous defeat to Golden Arrows last weekend, with Thamsanqa Gabuza, Sipho Mbule and Grant Kekana all coming in, while the home side brought Sibusiso Vilakazi and Mosa Lebusa into the starting line-up.

Ultimately, Pitso Mosimane's selection proved successful with Vilakazi on hand to score the lone goal just 24 minutes into the match, while Lebusa played a key part in protecting their lead to ensure The Brazilians progress to the next round.

It wasn't all joy for Downs, however, who may have lost full-back Thapelo Morena through a long-term injury after he dislocated his ankle during a challenge on Onismor Bhasera with 20 minutes remaining.
