“It is all a work in progress. We just have to knuckle down and focus on our objectives.” Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena told iDiskiTimes.
“As long as there are still games to be played, we still believe and move on from both victories and defeats in the same way. We treat success because when we win, we are not in heaven.
“We also treat defeats as an imposter because when we lose we are not in hell. What is important is what lessons come with both winning and losing, trying to make sure that we understand that we are not invincible.
“That result against Mazembe was one of those that Mamelodi Sundowns can use as a reminder that teams on the continent can beat us.”
