Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has admitted that his side was not at their best after the resumption of football in South Africa but says being accustomed to playing demanding fixtures within a short space of time carried them through to the champions podium.
After trailing Chiefs for the better part of the season and at one being 13 points behind, Downs performed a remarkable comeback to bag a third-straight league championship while Mosimane completed a personal milestone of a record five league crowns.
Prior to snatching the title away from Chiefs, who appeared to have it in their grasp, Sundowns had pipped Orlando Pirates for league honours in the previous two seasons.
