“We managed to achieve what we planned organisationally as we did not want them to play in our half, because aerially they are very strong and we could see that every time they got a set-piece. “ The Sundowns co-coach said.

“I also think that after we scored the goal we took our foot off the pedal and they started coming at us with a lot of throw-ins and corner kicks. This is a very strong team and has an awkward way of playing. Overall the game panned out the way we expected” he added.

Sundowns now top their CAF Champions League group after the 1st round of games. Mngqithi expressed worry at his side’s ability to make the most of the plethora of chances they’re able to create.

“We have been complaining about the team not being shrewd enough. If you look at the game against Chippa United, we scored two but we could have scored eight, in the Stellenbosch game also we could have scored more.

“We have not been clinical but if you look at our goal ratio it is not bad. We don’t always take our chances and we don’t want to put stress and anxiety on the players.

“It is a very sensitive area to touch but we are happy” Mngqithi concluded.
