It was as though Mamelodi Sundowns fans said to Kermit Erasmus: ‘Romeo, wang kolota’ after he promised the side to score a lot of goals when he signed for Sundowns back in 2020, but limited chances and injuries have hampered his success at Masandawana.But on Saturday night, he netted a brace against Summerfield Dynamos in the Nedbank Cup, helping the capital city giants ease past the ABC Motsepe League team from KwaZulu-Natal.
After months of asking and guessing how it would be if Lesedi Kapinga and Neo Maema were to start a game together – well, all guesses were laid to rest as the duo were named in the line-up alongside each other for the first time since they signed for the club. Sirino then took over the show, playing an assist to Erasmus once again in the 52nd minute where he could have easily taken the chance himself but showed a lot of unselfishness and laid it on for his teammate. Seven minutes later, Sirino took his markers to the cleaners down the right wing before delivering a sublime cross to Erasmus, who made no mistake and completed his brace.
