Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi says they made the 2-1 Premier Soccer League win over Chippa United "difficult than it should have been" after missing a number of good scoring opportunities at Sisa Dukashe Stadium on Monday.
A Themba Zwane penalty thrust Sundowns ahead before Chippa replied through Augustine Kwem, but Peter Shalulile grabbed the winner for the visitors with 16 minutes to go.
The result saw Masandawana opening a six-point gap at the top of the PSL table but their coach was not pleased with the manner in which they fluffed some of their opportunities.

During the match, Shalulile and Zwane were denied in one-on-one situations by Chilli Boys goalkeeper Ismael Watenga, and Sundowns also hit the woodwork twice through Shalulile again, and Lebohang Maboe, just before the winning goal.
