Pitso Mosimane, coach of Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane was seemingly not convinced that Khama Billiat deserved to walk away with the Man of the Match award.

The defending champions kicked off their title defence with a 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

One of Mosimane’s former star players Billiat, who made the switch to Naturena from Chloorkop at the beginning of June, was named Man of the Match after the game.

The former Bafana Bafana mentor was seemingly not happy about the decision and during his post-match interview, he did not hide his displeasure.

‘Can I ask who chooses the Man of the Match, is it the SMSs like in the Shell Cup? who chooses the Man of the Match.’ Mosimane asked SuperSport’s Robert Marawa.

Marawa responded by informing the Downs coach that it was the SuperSport commentators and then asked Mosimane why he was asking.

‘Who was the Man of the Match,’ Mosimane asked again.

‘Khama Billiat, why do you ask?’ responded the SuperSport pundit.

‘What did he do?’ said Jingles before walking off.

Who the Sundowns coach thought was the Man of the Match remains unclear, but he obviously did not believe Billiat deserved the award.
