SuperSport United suffered a second CAF Confederation Cup group stage loss as Sekhukhune United claimed all three points from their tie.
According to SuperSport United defender, Thulani Hlatshwayo, accumulating maximum points in the initial stages of the DStv Premiership could potentially lead to Mamelodi Sundowns securing their seventh consecutive league championship.
Mamelodi Sundowns claimed a 2-0 win over Tshwane derby rivals SuperSport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday evening and returned to the top of the DStv Premiership standings.
Ahead of tomorrow night’s Tshwane Derby at Lucas Moripe Stadium, SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has asked his charges not to be compared to reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Table-topping Mamelodi Sundowns experienced a reality check, succumbing to a 4-0 defeat against Chippa United in the DStv Diski Challenge on Saturday.
Both SuperSport United and Sekhukhune United tasted defeat on the opening day of their respective CAF Confederation Cup group campaigns.
