Rulani Mokwena Did Not Expect Chippa United To Be That Difficult to Beat!

Rulani Mokwena Did Not Expect Chippa United To Be That Difficult to Beat! The Brazilians claimed their first league victory of 2022 against The Chilli Boys.

Mamelodi Sundowns defeated Chippa United 2-0 in the DSTV Premiership last night. Co-coach Rulani Mokwena was ultimately left displeased with the performance he witnessed at Loftus Versfeld.

Masandawana did not face a straightforward match in any way whatsoever. The visitors created a couple of clear-cut opportunities.

Goals came from captain on the night Andile Jali and new transfer Teboho Mokoena in trademark style with a goal from distance. This win extended their lead at the top of the table.

“We knew it was going to be difficult but not this difficult.” Mokwena told SuperSport TV after the victory.

“Congratulations to the team, everyone involved at the club for the win but ever since I’ve been here, this is probably not one of the best performances from us.

“The personality of the team was something we couldn’t recognise. Tactically we were okay, but we struggled to find the extra man.

“You can’t do that when you’re rushing and sometimes, we rushed the play.

“We want to always provoke the next line to defend the ball, but we couldn’t get that today. Also, maybe because of the defensive organization and the discipline of Chippa and you have to give them credit for that,” the co-coach added.

“We knew how difficult they are. We spoke about their physicality; you saw how they fight in the duels.

“We spoke about Eva Nga, his speed in relation to transitions and you could see some of the chances.”

The Brazilians will now turn their focus to the CAF Champions League. Rulani Mokwena Did Not Expect Chippa United To Be That Difficult to Beat!
