Live report: Mamelodi Sundowns vs EC Bees
Mamelodi Sundowns have proclaimed they want to win the Nedbank Cup, which means EC Bees will be worried as Pitso Mosimane's men can be rampant when they're in the mood.

Mosimane will, however, not be part of tonight’s game as he is in Morocco, honouring an invitation by Caf president Ahmed Ahmed to take part in the Caf Pro Licence coaching course.
His right hand man Manqoba Mngqithi will be one shouting instructions from the dugout.
However, Bees coach Chippa Njedu says his side will go into tonight’s encounter with no fear as they bid to put up a gallant fight against Sundowns.
“We’re going to stick to what we know and we have to get rid of the mentality that we are playing a big team like Sundowns,” he said ahead of tonight’s last-16 clash at Loftus Versfeld.
