Goals from Peter Shalulile (2) and Mosa Lebusa saw the DStv Premiership side through to the next round. Mbule, who joined Sundowns from SuperSport United, was delighted with his performance and felt the game should have been wrapped up sooner.
“I would first of all like to thank the Mamelodi Sundowns family and everyone around the club for giving me the opportunity to play for Mamelodi Sundowns. I think I’m doing well and I’m coming alright. I think in today’s game we played well, I think if we could convert the chances that we created, I think Peter got almost four,” he said.
The midfielder added that he was pleased to have played the full 90 minutes and is looking forward to building on his performance.
“I’m pretty much happy with my performance because it’s been long since I played 90 minutes, so I think from here it’s just upwards, I’m building from here,” he said.
