'I feel sorry for Steve': Mosimane

2015 Telkom Knockout champions coach Pitso Mosimane says Mamelodi Sundowns didn’t play well despite beating Kaizer Chiefs 3-1 at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Wednesday evening.

Sundowns handed Chiefs their second successive Cup final loss this season, having already been beaten by Ajax Cape Town in the MTN8.

"I'm sad that my brother didn’t win his first trophy. I feel sorry for Steve because he is such a good coach," Mosimane told PSL official website.

"To lose two cup final in three months is extremely unlucky. But I know he's at a good club, a club that is very respectful and a club that doesn’t press panic buttons. I've told him the future is bright."

Sundowns took a decisive grip on the game early in the second half when Nthethe powered a header past Brilliant Khuzwayo.
