Mamelodi Sundowns fell to a second defeat in pre-season following a 1-0 loss to FC Dynamo Kyiv on Wednesday evening.
After Tuesday's loss to SV Sandhausen, the South African giants fielded a completely new line-up and a lot the star figures in Khuliso Mudau, Grant Kekana, Terrence Mashego, Teboho Mokoena, Marcelo Allende, Thapelo Maseko, Aubrey Modiba and Themba Zwane started.
Sundowns struggled to get in gear earlier on, but eventually came into their own around the half-hour mark to present teasing efforts from Maseko and Mudau.

However, the Ukrainian giants enjoyed the better of the opening chances and on one occasion a ball in behind caught Sundowns napping but nothing came of it.
It did come good for the host though four minutes ahead of the half-hour mark when Samba Diallo pounced on a low square ball into the centre of the area and tapped in easily.
Sundowns weren't able to reply despite pushing numbers to the attack, as the home team entered the break in the ascendancy.
The Brazilians came out for the second half energised, and in that introduced free-scoring striker Peter Shalulile, Bathusi Aubaas and goalkeeper Reyaad Pieterse.
Masandawana played on the front-foot though lacked the penetration deliveries to unsettle the Ukrainians, who were content to sit deep and go on the break.
Three substitutions from the Tshwane giants were presented midway in the second half, as Rivaldo Coetzee, Rushine De Reuck and Divine Lunga came on.
Sundowns were denied the lead from a golden chance late on when Lesiba Nku nicked off a loose pass to go clear only to hit the foot of the post and into touch.
A lot of chances went either way ahead of full-time, but Dynamo managed to hold out for the win and handed Masandawana a second defeat in pre-season.
