Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has showered striker Mauricio Affonso with praise following his goal against AmaZulu in the Telkom Knockout Cup on Sunday.
The 27-year-old arrived from Alianza Lima in the off-season and has hardly featured for the Brazilians since recovering from injury this season.
Affonso was making his domestic debut for the Chloorkop-based outfit against Usuthu, and in his two appearances thus far, Affonso has already scored twice for the club.
"He is a number nine as I said before. He scored the same goal in the Champions League, but that one was from a corner kick.
