'Their president took me to their dressing room after the match so that I can congratulate the players personally.'
Mosimane lavished praise on his conquers and said Sundowns lost to a better and more experienced team after the 2-1 aggregate defeat to the Moroccans in the semifinal stage of the Caf Champions League.
Sundowns‚ who played in front of a packed Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atterideville‚ failed to get the one unanswered goal that could have overturned the 2-1 deficit and propelled them to the final on the away goal rule. "I have seen big clubs in the world like Bayern Munich and Juventus knocked out of the Champions League‚ so would Sundowns not accept being knocked out in the semifinals?
Mosimane also admitted that they did not play well on the day but players like Maboe and Morena gained valuable experience. “We did not start very well in the first 15 minutes‚" he said."I needed a little bit from Themba Zwane and Gaston Sirino."I tried to push everything with the substitutions by taking out right backs and putting in attackers.
