In an interview with SuperSport TV, as per iDiskiTimes, Mokwena claimed he is still proud of his players despite dropping points, and they are doing very difficult things.

"I am very proud of my players. This group is doing things that are very difficult," he said on SuperSport TV.
"It is a marathon that we are running, and I said to the players, the result belongs to anybody; you can't win them all. Just because you won 11 in a row doesn't mean you won everything. What you're owing is the process to try to win it."

The South African tactician went further to explain the reason why his team dropped points against the home side.

"When I look at the indicators – how many chances for Cape Town City? I am not so sure they had too many chances. Did we create chances? I think so. Maybe not as best as we possibly can, and then we also made a couple of mistakes in the final third," he added.
"So I am happy with the process. We tried to win the game, but the result belongs to anybody."

Mokwena compares Sundowns to two EPL giants

Sports Brief earlier reported on Mokwena comparing his team Mamelodi Sundowns to two English Premier League giants after their victory over Pyramids FC in the CAF Champions League.

The Premier Soccer League champions secured an important three points with a 1-0 win over the Egyptian side at the 30 June Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Teboho Mokoena's lone striker in the 17th minute gave the South African the deserved win in Egypt as they went top of Group A with seven points.
