According to KickOff.com, Sundowns boss Mosimane reacted to criticsim after the Brazilians lured Mame Niang to Sundowns.
“Mamelodi Sundowns is like Barcelona, it is not just about winning but you have to win playing good football as well,” said Mosimane.

The Sundowns boss was happy with the win and the clean sheet against Swallows.
Wednesday evening's win moved Sundowns up to 6th spot on the PSL log.
