The Brazilians have become the first ever PSL club win 4 successive league titles.

“We wanted to give it our best shot, we wanted to win the championship from this match.” Mngqithi told the media after the game.

“It’s always nicer when you win a derby and win a championship.

“The first championship we won with Coach Pitso was here in this stadium, we were playing against Supersport and we wanted to replicate that and win it in a derby. When you win it in a derby it’s nicer, it gives you a little bit of more pride.” He continued.

The coach was happy to fully dominated SuperSport in the game. Sundowns has had more possession than their opponents in all their matches this season.

“We did dominate the way we wanted to dominate, there is no reason why a team that is leading by 3-0 should be caught on the break.

“There is no reason why a team that is leading by 3-0 should be so open in the zone 14 area where  Mokoena scored that goal, those were very saddening moments because, to be honest we never really deserved to concede based on the performance that we had given.

“Every match that we play, we play to win and we don’t risk the possibilities of losing matches. We’ve got a very big responsibility towards making sure that we set our own records, we set our own standards as a team and so far there is a lot of positives [like] the fact that up until this point we’ve dominated 99% of the matches.”
