On Friday, Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Pitso Mosimane, spoke to journalists after his side’s 1-0 win over ZESCO United in the CAF Champions League.
Mosimane said that the three points were more important than the scoreline, as the club looks to qualify for the knockout stages as soon as possible. “I think first is to get three points, the target is to move as close as possible to ten (points). History tells you that the lowest number of points to come out of the group stages is four,” he said.
First group game, first group win!

The tactician added that the team could have scored more goals, but was pleased with the performance. “We were comfortable, even though we had a few jitters in certain moments, a few misplaced passes but I thought the boys were very good and applied themselves very well,” he said.
Sundowns will now focus on the CAF Champions League over the next two weeks, as they travel to Cameroon this week to take on Coton Sport on Friday, followed by a trip to Cairo to face Egyptian giants Al Ahly on February 25.
