Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena says they should have won the MTN8 final against Orlando Pirates with the amount of chances they had.
Pirates were crowned champions for the second consecutive season after they beat the Brazilians 3-1 on penalties, following a goalless draw in extra-time.
The Tshwane giants had some big chances in the game and Mokwena says the Buccaneers had "zero chances in over 120 minutes" and Sundowns should have won the game if they were clinical.

"We should have won it, so many chances, zero chances for Pirates over 120 minutes, so let's congratulate the winners Orlando Pirates, congratulations and congratulations to my players, they gave it their all," Mokwena told SuperSport TV.
"We were in a very difficult moment, Peter (Shalulile) played with an injury but it's not an excuse, we keep going, we're Mamelodi Sundowns, we're strong.
"We created all the chances you know, Themba (Zwane), Peter, another big one in the second-half with Marcelo (Allende) but okay that's football, so when you go to the lottery…I wanna congratulate my boys, I'm very proud of them, unlucky today but we're Mamelodi Sundowns, we're strong," he said.
Mokwena went on and conceded that they ran out of legs towards the end as they are playing too many matches.
"We ran out of legs a little bit, it's difficult for us at the moment, we play a lot of games so, there's a price on every ticket but let's leave it to congratulate the players and let's leave it to congratulate Orlando Pirates," he said.
"When we win it's fantastic and when we also lose we need to be humble in defeat. So we're Mamelodi Sundowns, we'll bounce back," he concluded.
