“What do you mean we were not involved to score? Themba Zwane hit the crossbar in the first half, Sailor Mudau hit the upright in the second half. I mean I don’t understand. You want to tell me we came here to lose the game?.” – Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena said as quoted by IdiskiTimes.

“That’s very very disrespectful, we don’t work hard and put so much hours to come and lose a football match.

“I find your question a little bit disrespectful. To be honest if that’s the spirit that this press conference will be in, we may as well end it.

“Because I come here with respect and humility to respect you guys and respect Mazembe, you guys show disrespect towards the football club.”
