Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi believes his charges should have scored up to eight goals against Chippa United, but felt the late Motjeka Madisha may have only wanted two goals.
Lebogang Maboe and Gaston Sirino scored two first-half goals and Sundowns somewhat took their foot off the gas, as they squandered plenty of chances to run riot.
Mngqithi says perhaps scoring only two goals was meant to be on the day they were commemorating the life of the late Motjeka Madisha, who wore the number two jersey. The game panned out the way we thought, we knew that they would be planting five in the heart of midfield but we had planned for that, we wanted a direct confrontation with our full-backs and their wing-backs, Mngqithi told SuperSport TV.

Chippa United coach Daniel Malesela admits he is unsure why his players were panicky from the kick-off against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Lebogang Maboe and Gaston Sirino scored two first-half goals for the Brazilians but the Chilli Boys could have lost by a big score after the Tshwane giants missed a lot of clear chances and had a goal disallowed for offside.
The Chili Boys coach was puzzled by the nervousness of his players, but says he will find out why. A very jittery team that I noticed today, I wonder why we were so panicky in the beginning but also off-ish, one could sense a number of things when we were in the change room, Malesela told SuperSport TV after the match.
Eskom announced on Friday that it will suspend load shedding as demand declined ahead of the weekend.
This after the power utility had implemented stage 2 load shedding between 10pm and 5am on Wednesday and Thursday.
Though load shedding has been suspended because the demand for electricity has dropped, Eskom still requested that South Africans continue use electricity sparingly as the system remained vulnerable.

Mamelodi Sundowns showed their continental experience to beat Botswana outfit Jwaneng Galaxy 2-0 in their CAF Champions League first round first leg.
Sundowns took an early lead in the 10th minute through Mothobi Mvala, who neatly placed his right-footed effort into the back of the net after Lyle Lakay did well to pick him out inside the box.
The hosts best chances in the match came in the first half, when they were denied a penalty shout in the 21st minute as Khuliso Mudua clattered into an attacker inside his own box but the referee waved play-on.
