Rulani Mokwena Praises Sekhukhune United After Difficult Victory! The Brazilians got back to winning ways against Babina Noko this weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns defeated Sekhukhune United 2-0 in the DSTV Premiership on Saturday afternoon. Co-coach Rulani Mokwena was full of praise for their opponents after the win.

The Brazilians claimed the win through goals from Neo Maema and a Themba Zwane penalty. They went back to winning ways after dropping points at home to SuperSport United during the week.

Dennis Onyango received a red card late in the match after a defensive error by Mosa Lebusa, which required the Ugandan to intervene and prevent a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Kennedy Mweene came on for the goalkeeper and saw out the remainder of the game.

“Firstly, let’s compliment Sekhukhune they’ve got a clear model of play and of course a clear model of play that is to the strength of their players,” Mokwena told SuperSport TV after the win

“But also, credit to our players for fighting hard and showing a lot of resilience to bounce back from the last two draws. Not easy because the personality of the opposition changes.

“In the first half they had a very low block, and we knew we had to break it because if you don’t break it, they stay with the low block and continue with neglecting possession and coming a little bit to attack the space.

“But second half they made the double change and when Prince came in, with two strikers they pressed a little bit higher. We had to find better solutions on our build-up and once we got the momentum going, we stabilized a little bit.

“We looked a little bit better; we had more control up until the last minute where we lost a little bit of our structure because of the red card,” he added in reflection.

The Brazilians remain on top of the league table after the win. Rulani Mokwena Praises Sekhukhune United After Difficult Victory!
