The Brazilians defeated the Buccaneers 1-0 in the DStv Premiership before claiming a 2-1 victory over the Amakhosi in the MTN8 on Saturday afternoon.

The Sundowns coach was visibly exhausted during his post-match interview but had nothing put praise for his side.
"I'm almost 70, I've aged, this week has been tough, it's been one very good team on Wednesday, it's been another one on the weekend that is under a lot of pressure," Mokwena told SuperSport after the game.
"And congratulations to the boys, I just wanna say congratulations to the club, we made it difficult but actually I don't even wanna talk about any tactics, anything, I just want to congratulate Mamelodi Sundowns, this fantastic group of players and now onto Wednesday, there's another difficult one waiting for us," he said.
Mokwena was in no mood to talk about any negatives from his side's display, which capped off a good for the league champions.
"I don't want to talk about them (negatives) at the moment, they are so many but look we have not been in a final, this is a fairly new group we've established now, a couple of new players last season, with two or three transfer windows, so it's a fairly new group," he added.
"Apart from Denis (Onyango), 'Mshishi' (Themba Zwane), Thapelo Morena, the rest of these boys are new, Ronza (Ronwen Williams), Tebza (Teboho Mokoena), so it's our first final together and that's the positive, that's what I want to focus on.
"A big week where we've beaten two big teams in one week, it's incredible," he said
