MTN8: Sundowns comeback was unexpected - Mosimane

The Masandawana mentor was delighted after his side booked their place in the next round of the cup competition on Saturday

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane appeared to be surprised by his side’s come-from-behind victory over Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 on Saturday night.

Fresh off an energy-sapping 1-1 draw against Chippa United in midweek, Mosimane’s woes seemed to continue when his side fell behind to a strike by Ndumiso Mabena just before the hour mark.

However, Sundowns fought back thanks to goals by Themba Zwane, Mosa Lebusa and Keletso Makgalwa - a comeback which even earned a smile from the usually hardnosed Brazilians mentor.
