At Lucas Moripe Stadium
Iqraam Rayners netted a brace to send Mamelodi Sundowns into the MTN8 semifinal following a commanding 4-0 victory over Richards Bay here on Sunday.
Rayners, who was overlooked for the PSL awards, was outstanding, scoring on either side of the half to help Masandawana to victory and join Orlando Pirates, Stellenbosch and Sekhukhune United in the last four.
Sundowns had to make do without their key players Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Khuliso Mudau and Peter Shalulile. Shalulile is believed to be on the verge of joining Tunisian giants Esperance, while it is also understood that there is interest in both Ribeiro Costa and Mudau from unnamed teams abroad.
But that didn't affect the Brazilians, who put on a dominating performance against an out-of-sorts Bay side.
