Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands refuses to be drawn into Pitso Mosimane’s mind games, insisting his team is only focused on the Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs.

The Soweto giants come head to head at the FNB Stadium on Saturday in a game which will have a big impact on the league title race.

With Chiefs currently top of the table, four points ahead of Sundowns in second and six points clear of third-placed Pirates, a victory for the Sea Robbers would heat things up heading into the final stages of the campaign.

Speaking after his side’s Nedbank Cup win on Sunday, Mosimane admitted that he would prefer for Pirates to win and undoubtedly open the door for his side.

Sandilands was asked about the former Bafana Bafana mentor’s comments but the shotstopper insisted that they are solely focused on the next game.

‘I am not really focusing on what Pitso said. My mind is not in that space. Sundowns are a battle-tested team and are the defending champions,’ Sandilands said.

‘Pitso is a top coach who has been there and done that. Our concern is to get the points in the derby like we always look to do in any game.

‘Three points for us is key. That is what we are striving for in every single game.

‘Some people consider this a three-horse race but we also have to remember that Wits are in the mix. A few teams will look to make a title charge. Our next four games will be very important because we play Chiefs and Sundowns,’ he concluded.
