Tensions are still high between TS Galaxy coach, Sead Ramovic and Mamelodi Sundowns’ co-coach, Steve Komphela.

The duo traded words on the touchline during Mamelodi Sundowns’ win over TS Galaxy in the Premier Soccer League. Eventually, they had to be separated, as calmer heads prevailed.

As reported by KickOff, Ramovic is now accusing Komphela of unprofessional conduct, saying that the Sundowns’ co-coach swore at him.

The war of words began when TS Galaxy player, Lindokuhle Mbatha, committed two rash challenges on Sundowns’ players, prompting Komphela to ask the referee to book the player.

Ramovic didn’t like the fact that Komphela was trying to influence the referee and asked him not to do so. It is then that Ramovic alleges Komphela swore at him.

“I believe to be a head coach in a big club like Sundowns this kind of bad talk it's a shame. Everybody has to know how he behaves around other colleagues, you must show respect and not talk like - I can't even say it on TV so bad it was,” Ramovic said.

As Goal.com reported, Ramovic added that Komphela should have known how to handle himself better when representing his club and the supporters.

Komphela is yet to comment on the matter.

DStv Premiership: Mamelodi Sundowns beat TS Galaxy, Masandawana scored 2 rockets to beat The Rockets 3:0

Mamelodi Sundowns are flying high after beating TS Galaxy 3-0. Stunning strikes from Khuliso Mudau and Haashim Domingo and a Peter Shalulile goal guided the Brazilians to a comfortable win, Sports Brief reported.

Despite the comfortable win, Sundowns could have gone behind as early as the sixth minute of the game when Brian Onyango made a hasty back pass. His header lacked power, forcing Kennedy Mweene to rush out to grab the ball. The keeper collided with TS Galaxy striker, Augustine Kwem.

Sundowns then started to grow in the game and took the lead thanks to a rocket from Khuliso Mudau. The player found himself free on the edge of the box and hit a pinpoint strike into the top corner of the net. Even the commentators described it as a postage stamp goal.
