Mokwena: ‘We are here to win trophies’

Rulani Mokwena was full of praise for his Mamelodi Sundowns players following the 5-2 win over Al Ahly but insists there’s more work to be done.

Sundowns thrashed the Egyptians in their Group B CAF Champions League encounter and as a result it send their fans into overdrive.

But Mokwena is keeping his feet on the ground and wants his side to deliver silverware rather than great once-off results.

Sundowns boss wants the title

The reigning PSL champions Sundowns made a massive statement with the performance as they booked their place in the quarter-finals.

Mokwena, though, wants to go all the way.

“The game belonged to the players; they deserve all the praise today but I will be the first to quickly remind them that it’s still a long way to go. This result doesn’t deliver any trophy and we are business minded people, we want to win trophies. We are here to win trophies, that’s what happens in big clubs, we are judged by that,” he said as reported by SABC Sport.
