SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt commended his charges for getting a point against Mamelodi Sundowns, but feels they could have got more.

The Tshwane giants trailed the table-toppers late in the first half, but hit back immediately through Bradley Grobler and ultimately secured a point.

Hunt had nothing but praise and believes they were denied a penalty when Grobler went down from Divine Lunga’s challenge.

As always, the willingness and never-say-die attitude has been the vocal point for the club to which the young guns reaped into as it’s none negotiable.

“Ja, they’ll always go down swinging us, we’re not going to, that’s what the club is about you know what I mean. It’s not negotiable for me those type of things.

“But you got to commend the players, these young kids, throw them in and they have been great and they’ll learn, make mistakes, get better and hopefully we get better and hopefully we can keep them,
