“It was an unexpected loss today, we came here to win and rest a bit for the last match, but this is football” We did not have enough concentration, they scored early while we wanted to score in the first half, this is why they won the ball. We play with an attacking attitude, that’s our way. We don’t know how Mamelodi Sundowns will play next match. Our next match will be very critical, so we have to win it, there’s no other option”.
