Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane admitted that he is not excited about going level on point with Orlando Pirates at the top of the table as he still doesn’t know how many points his side has.
Downs went level on 50 points with Pirates after the 3-2 victory over Chippa United on Tuesday afternoon.
Pirates will of course have the chance to go three points clear when they face Maritzburg United on Wednesday evening but they do know Sundowns are breathing down their necks in the title race.
Mosimane though admitted that he can’t get excited about his side’s potential league title triumph as he still doesn’t know if his side will be docked points for the Wayne Arendse case.
‘I still don’t know how many points I have, and I still don’t know who is going to get the points and I still don’t know how many points we going to get deducted,’ Mosimane told SuperSport after the game.
‘So, I’m not excited about that (moving level with Pirates). It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t mean anything to me personally.
‘I know everybody has a go at me, but somebody has to speak out and that’s me. I know what’s going to happen and will it be the first-time no. So Pitso will talk.’
Mosimane also praised key members of his side who yet again stepped up when needed.
He (Sirino) didn’t play very well in the first 20 minutes, he lost balls. But when he is there you know he is going to deliver a pass and assist. He gave (Hlompho Kekana) Keke the ball to score. He is important player; you can see he is not fresh. We took him out to save him.
‘We saved our important player. As much as we want to win, but you take (Themba Zwane) Mshisihi, (Sibusiso Vilakazi) Vila and Gaston out because they are important players, we need them,’ Mosimane said.
