The Brazilians were comfortably leading 3-0 with about 20 minutes remaining on the clock when Mosimane replaced his star midfielder with Sphelele Mkhulise.
But the Sundowns coach said he was looking at the bigger picture when he took the decision as he wanted to keep his star player fresh for the visit of Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday. "It means that he was feeling good about himself out there and saw that there were too many opportunities because we kept on missing chance after chance.Sundowns number one goalkeeper Denis Onyango also did not finish the match for a similar reason and was replaced by Kennedy Mweene after 74 minutes."They are overloaded‚ so we had to take them off.
Asked to reflect on the win over Chippa‚ Mosimane agreed that they could have buried them under an avalanche of goals."I am not happy with the performance of my team but I am happy that we scored three goals.
