Mngonyama explains Maritzburg United's tactics behind Mamelodi Sundowns draw

Maritzburg United player Kwanda Mngonyama has revealed what his coach Ernst Middendorp instructed him to do on Saturday night in the 1-1 league draw at the Harry Gwala Stadium.

The point was the first of the season for the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) side in what was their sixth match.

It came via Mngonyama’s expertly taken header on the hour mark, following a Dan Morgan corner kick.

Sundowns had taken the lead on 31 minutes through Themba Zwane and had also enjoyed several other good opportunities to score.

Mngonyama was named Man-of-the-Match after a storming display up and down the right flank for the Team of Choice on a rainy night in the KZN capital city.
