Mamelodi Sundowns great Roger Feutmba has gone through the proceedings from Wednesday's tie against Kaizer Chiefs with a fine tooth comb, giving big praise to Nasreddine Nabi's men.
Sundowns, who have had the upper hand against Chiefs in recent matches, were at times taken to a dark place by the home side, with both teams eventually settling for a share of the spoils at FNB Stadium.

The Soweto giants remain second on the log with 10 points from four fixtures, while The Brazilians sit in third having collected eight points from the same number of games.
Former playmaker Feutmba concedes the men in Gold and Black were the superior team on the night.
"It was a good game, especially for the spectators at the stadium. That's what soccer lovers want to see, a strong fighting spirit from both teams," noted 'General'.
"Chiefs put in more effort to ensure that we didn't play our usual game. There was good competition from both sides. The game was full of quality and commitment, even though both teams didn't create many chances.
"We were still treated to quality football.
"It could have gone either way. Both teams were tactically organized, which is why we didn't see many scoring opportunities.

"Chiefs are already showing improvement compared to last season, considering how they've started this season," added Feutmba.
The former Cameroonian international believes Amakhosi are far better than the team of last season, which finished ninth in the league.
"They just need to continue working hard to maintain their momentum. Not having conceded any goals or lost any matches is a positive sign.
"They are headed in the right direction, they just need to stay together and keep putting in the effort."
