“That’s why I’m giving credit to Bidvest Wits because they were top for 20 games and Pirates have also had a spell on top.”
Sundowns opened up a handy three point lead as they caught up to the rest of the chasing pack but with seven games to go‚ Mosimane is well aware that the Brazilians now have a marksman’s target centred on their back.
Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Maritzburg United was another nail-biting affair for the champions‚ who let slip a comfortable position after going 2-0 up in the first 20 minutes and ended up with their backs to the wall after Gaston Sirino was sent off and Maritzburg pulled back a goal with eight minutes left.
“It’s a long way‚ this top of the log thing can play a bit with your emotions and puts stress on the players‚” said Mosimane after the victory at the Harry Gwala Stadium.“We were top of the table for a few days and then overtaken‚ but now we are back. “That’s why I’m giving credit to Bidvest Wits because they were top for 20 games and Pirates have also had a spell on top‚” he added.
