Despite being 13 points ahead of second-place SuperSport United, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena doesn’t think the title will be decided should they collect all three points against their cross-town rivals on Monday.
The Brazilians, who are on a 10-match winning streak, will host SuperSport in the DStv Premiership match at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Monday, looking to extend their lead at the top.“No, I reiterate what I said before, when the difference was fewer points, but Gavin [Hunt] said there was no title race [for SuperSport],” Mokwena told the media at Chloorkop on Thursday.
“And this is what our mentality is and we are honestly talking about how it takes more than 50 points to win the title.” At this stage of the season, Chiefs are 16 points behind, while Pirates are 21, and Mokwena said credit should be given to the players for the wonderful performances. “I will flip that statement by saying that again give recognition to Mamelodi Sundowns players. How easy it is to be a big team and not to be in a position like this club is in.
