RHULANI MOKWENA REACTS

Speaking to the media after the game, Sundowns coach Mokwena was not unhappy with the result, but the officiating left him with a question or two.

“Congrats to Wydad on the win, it’s only half-time,” Mokwena told SABC Sport.

“Let me also congratulate my players for an incredible effort, fighting spirit to come back and try very, very hard.

“Our attack was not as potent and aggressive, but ok we take the away goal and we move. It’s two good teams, very difficult [tie]. We have to win, and we’ll do our best to win,” Mokwena said.

“If I really tell you the truth maybe I’m in trouble,” Mokwena continued.

“Because I think [if] Jabrane gets a red card instead of a yellow, then it’s 10 vs 11 but that’s football, you know what I mean,” the Sundowns tactician concluded.
