Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi believes they were unfortunate not to get maximum points against Sekhukhune United on Saturday.

Masandawana, who were the visitors on the day, came into the match full of confidence having hammered Kaizer Chiefs 4-0 in their last DStv Premiership game last weekend.

Downs’ Peter Shalulile broke the deadlock one minute prior to the half-time break before Babina Noko’s captain Linda Mntambo equalised seconds after the start of the second half.

Mngqithi was disappointed that his troops wasted several chances, particularly in the first half.

MNGQITHI REACTS TO SHARING SPOILS WITH SEKHUKHUNE

“Ja the way we conceded was very disappointing, considering how many opportunities we fluffed in the first half because of anxiety and rushing in the final third,” Mngqithi told SuperSport.

“When there were so many holes and gaps inside the box. We made a lot of a meal with the chances that we got but I think we played very well under the circumstances.

“But very unfortunate not to get the results in a game like this.”

Mngqithi added that the Limpopo-based club found the leveler through the pressure they applied.

“I think in the second-half they came with a very good mentality to press from the top and unfortunately from our restart we made a meal out of it and capitalised,” he added

“But otherwise they did not create a lot of chances because they were now sitting in but we did not break them down as much as one would have wanted.”

Mamelodi Sundowns host Stellenbosch FC at Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday, 24 August as they look to get back to winning ways.

Kick-off will be at 17:00.
