Pitso Mosimane, Mamelodi Sundowns head coach has promised to battle for the Absa Premiership title race till the very last kick
Sundowns and Chiefs are both on the same 56 points but with a three goal difference advantage to the Glamour Boys separating them.
On Saturday, Sundowns will face Black Leopards who remain at the relegation zone while Middendorp’s side will come head-to-head with a side battling for their Premiership status – Baroka FC.
“You can never be unhappy about everything in life, don’t envy the neighbours, it is a competition and we have been gentlemen. We have given the competition for all the years even when wits won the league we gave them competition to win it at the end, it is never easy,” said Mosimane.
“Last year we had to win the last match to win the league so will give Chiefs the competition and a very good run even when we are losing, we will never give it away on a silver platter, we will go for it. We have closed a 13-point gap and that is what I am proud of,” he added.
Baroka gave Sundowns a tough time and are likely to do same when they face Chiefs.
“We had only one chance to take the lead after Chiefs lost to Wits. That was the only chance we have ever had this season and we did not take it. But it is fine, we can’t complain. What is more important for me and for the team is the Champions League spot. We are going again for the seventh year in a row and that shows that we are credible and we are a team of substance, we are not lucky,” said the Downs mentor.
