Although they won the match, the visitors also created chances of their own.

“Congratulations first to Mamelodi Sundowns,” Mokwena told SuperSport TV after the match.  

“Congratulations to the club, the supporters, congratulations to these incredible football players.

“A well-deserved win, we beat a very good side on a day when they gave a lot out and congratulations to our players and coaches for the win.

“The message at half-time was for us not to be anxious, we knew they will continue to have the five [at the back] but the five is determined by where our full backs go you know.

“If you go a little bit higher then you allow Bhasera to be the fifth defender but if you go a little shallower. Thapelo/Mudau, then the movement from Thapelo to see for the first goal, you bring him short, and you look for the space behind.

“But it was a good performance, good energy, good commitment from our players and not an easy one but very good.

“Congratulations also to our subs, Marcelo Allende came in and did the job. Nasir came in and did the job, Mothobi was also good when he came on, Sipho Mbule was also very good.” The coach added.
