Onyango makes five stunning shootout saves as Sundowns finally lift MTN8 trophy BraMahlatse
The last time the Brazilians lifted this trophy was when they beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 in 2007 while the tournament was known as the SAA Supa8 through an early goal by Brent Carelse.
For City Terrence Mashego and Mpho Makola were the only scorers while Khanyisa Mayo, Fagrie Lakay, Abdul Ajagun, Tariq Fielies and Thamsanqa Mkhize could not convert.The Sundowns coaching trio of Manqoba Mngqithi, Steve Komphela and Rulani Mokwena started the match with a spine made up of Onyango behind Lebusa and Grant Kekana in the heart of the defence.
The first notable chance of the match was for Rivaldo Coetzee but his powerful shot from the edge of the box was saved by alert City goalkeeper Hugo Marques following a good early attacking move. Sundowns continued to attack in the second half and their most notable chance came on the hour mark as a long range shot by Zwane ricocheted off the woodwork for safety.
