Denis Onyango took one for the team with the red card he had to concede in the dying moments of Mamelodi Sundowns' 2-0 win against Sekhukhune United on Saturday and kept the Brazilians firmly ensconced at the top of the DStv Premiership.
Against Sekhukhune on Saturday, Onyango had almost no choice but to foul substitute Tshediso Patjie outside the box as the striker sped through alone after intercepting Mosa Lebusa's back-pass. “A lot of people will speak about the red card, but the reality is — and I always say it to the players — there are probably five or six errors leading up to the bigger error,” Mokwena said.
“And when we go to Mosa, who clearly thinks the pass should go to Denis in that moment because there are two strikers, and the one striker's a bit hidden on his shoulder, the pass catches him unaware. And you can clearly see with the body position that he was not expecting the pass. But it comes, and then he's got to commit himself and try to solve the problem of having an aggressive striker.
“But the striker is gone and it becomes a situation, but if you don't get Onyango into that compromise then you don't have the red card.
