Pitso Mosimane laments Mamelodi Sundowns' habit of conceding from set-pieces

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane accepted the point against Platinum Stars but expressed disappointment at the manner in which his side conceded the goals. Downs were held to a 2-2 draw at home as they dropped two crucial points in the title race, leaving them three points adrift of leaders Bidvest Wits with four games to go. Mosimane was aggrieved at his side's lapses of concentration at set-pieces, which he said they discussed prior to the match. "I am, of course, disappointed with the result but we tried, you know," said Mosimane on SuperSport TV. "We gave it our best shot.

"We spent the whole morning talking about the throw-ins and set-pieces because against [Bidvest] Wits we conceded from a set-piece [after] a throw-in which was for us. "Again [on Thursday] we conceded from a throw-in, the first goal, it's unbelievable. It's disappointing. Even their second goal was a set-piece, quickly taken. Against Golden Arrows [in the Nedbank Cup] it was the same thing." He added: "But it's lessons in football, and you never know, sometimes maybe you're not happy with a point but we might need that point hey... But, to be honest, we should have won."
