Post-Match Comments:

AGNES NKOSI– Mamelodi Sundowns Coach

We tried to finish the match early, but they played defensively and their goalkeeper did great”.

“It’s good for us to have the three points to get the confidence the players need for future matches. We could’ve changed the result today if we’d converted our chances into goals, but this is what we’ll work on”.

Charles Okere – Vihiga Queens Coach

“I congratulate Mamelodi Sundowns on the win, and I congratulate my players on fighting till the end. We’ve trained to play defensively but we did not defend well. To be able to attack, we have to defend and prevent goals, so when we do that we can win”.

“It’s very encouraging for our goalkeeper to win Woman of The Match and will help her focus more”.
