Mamelodi Sundowns advanced to the Nedbank Cup Round of 16 following a 2-1 victory over Gomora United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night.

Prolific frontman Peter Shalulile broke the deadlock in the 41st minute, before Mpho Maoke robbed Malibongwe Khoza off the ball to level matters on the stroke of half-time.

Thapelo Morena, who entered the fray as a half-time substitute headed Sundowns back into the lead after connecting with an inviting ball from Jayden Adams.

Downs will await their fate in the next stage of the competition as they look to clinch a first domestic cup title since the 2021/22 campaign.

Miguel Cardoso's men will now shift their focus to the CAF Champions League, where they are set to face FC Saint-Eloi Lupopo in DR Congo on Sunday.
