“It was a tough game, two strong teams. You could see the experience of Chiefs, at one stage they were catching us on the break but we knew that and we were prepared for that. But still, even if we knew that, they were always dangerous.”
With Sundowns unable to find the back of the net, Mosimane brought on Themba Zwane for Nyasha Mushekwi, Anthony Laffor for Teko Modise and Edward Manqele for Katlego Mphela in the second half.
“I think also Wayne Sandilands played well, Jabu Shongwe did well for us, Esrom [Nyandoro] was very good and Rama [Ramahlwe Mphahlele] came back very strong so we played well, even though we looked a little bit blunt up-front with two strikers, hence I made the changes,” he says.
“The midfield was okay, it was organised. Good game, a very tactical game. We did our best, we want our pride back and we played a big team so it was good.
“I think Itumeleng Khune also played well and that’s why he is number one in SA. He is unbelievable, he made two great saves – he is the best.”

Oh well what else can we say ,the whole of Africa knows that ,even those who really thought he was 'favored' in the national team agrees! That other keeper(he cost his team the telkom cup) who thought he was better than khune and retired as a result agrees with that statement ,he is senzo's role model!

The Bhoys face an uphill task to qualify for the quarter finals after capitulating to a heavy loss to La Vecchia Signora in front of their supporters at Celtic Park with Efe culpable for two of the goals.
He failed to deal with a long ball early in the first half allowing Alexandra Matri to pounce while another error late on in the game allowed Juve complete an emphatic win which virtually renders the return leg in Turin academic.
Lennon has been criticized in some quarters for fielding the Nigerian in the game as he had just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa but the Celtic gaffer does not believe fatigue and jet lag was an issue for Ambrose.
“Fatigues was not a factor (for Ambrose). The first goal we conceded, he could have done better and then he misses a great chance (with a header from point blank range) to make it 1-1,” a disappointed Lennon explained after the game.
The former Celtic defender also took the time to analyze the third goal scored by Juventus, after another Ambrose mistake.
“The soft goal was very poor from his point of view and I think he will be very disappointed in himself.
‘I had to start him because we had very few options at the back,” he concluded
