Coach says game is not a title decider as the league can be won on last match of the season

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has dismissed suggestions that Thursday’s crunch Premier Soccer League clash against Kaizer Chiefs at Orlando Stadium will decide the league title.

For Sundowns and Mosimane‚ football in the bubble has also not been too kind as they have managed three draws‚ one win and one loss in their five matches. “We want to win against Chiefs to make everything correct, but we might not even win against Chiefs. Mathematically, the league will not be won on Thursday because this thing still has a heartbeat.”

“They make you fight hard to try to get the ball through them. We have been playing against reinforced defences for the last seven to eight years because everybody is against the ball when it comes to Sundowns. It’s football in the bubble and it’s survival of the fittest. The fat lady hasn’t sung and we are still going.”
