Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says he was pleased with his side’s performance following their 2-0 victory over Chippa United on Wednesday.

The Brazilians maintained their place at the summit of the Absa Premiership standings courtesy of goals from Percy Tau and Khama Billiat.

Mosimane admits the Chilli Boys put up a bit of a fight, but he insists he is happy to walk away with three points and will now move to their next encounter.

‘A difficult game not very difficult in a sense that they gave us problems. They just gave problems a little bit on the breaks. They only got a few one-on-ones with Denis Onyango and that was about it,’ Mosimane told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘We knew once we score, we can just shut it up a little bit. We managed them not to get behind us, that’s it. We didn’t move properly in midfield, there’s a little bit of anxiety you must understand. They know they have to win. So somewhere somehow I don’t worry much about the free flow. We got the goals and move on.

‘We managed the game. We knew they will push up and be emotional and then we go out [on counter-attack] as we did with Percy [Tau] and [Khama] Billiat for the second goal. We knew they can’t sit back because they are losing.

‘This is not a time to show off, it’s a time to get results you score and look after the game. It’s tough times.’

Sundowns will now travel to the Peter Mokaba Stadium when they take on Baroka in their next league encounter on Sunday, with kick-off set for 3pm.
