"And I was looking a little bit in the last five championships that Sundowns won before it was three, two points difference, now today it’s 20 and 17 and… this is not good, this is not good and let’s hope, as soon as possible."

TimesLIVE confirmed that Pirates contributed just four players to the latest Bafana squad, with Chiefs having none involved. They will take on Liberia home and away in crucial 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The tournament will be hosted by the Ivory Coast in July. Morocco is the other team in Group K, having already defeated the South Africans 2-1.
