"I think this is one game we controlled from the first minute until the 90th minute, and the entire extra-time. Around the 50th minute, we played with one player less [Miguel Reisinho red carded], we were totally in control of the match. We took the responsibility of winning the match from the very beginning, finding the right plan to adjust and understand what's happening on the pitch."
"And the other team found a bonus in penalties; they just defended and opposed our attacks. I think compared to the game we played against Marumo [in the league], it was completely different,"
"Cardoso already fumbled MTN8, Carling Cup, Nedbank Cup and CAFCL. Coach Manqoba and Rulani were fired for the same things. We are just asking for consistency from Flemming Berg."
Mamelodi Sundowns exited the Carling Knockout Cup after a 7-6 penalty defeat to Marumo Gallants at Lucas Moripe Stadium. The cup elimination followed an earlier MTN8 semi-final loss, marking two early cup exits this season. Head coach Miguel Cardoso maintained that Sundowns controlled the match, even after Miguel Reisinho's red card around the 50th minute, and lamented bad luck in failing to score. Cardoso said Gallants primarily defended and benefited from penalties. Many supporters blamed Cardoso for the cup failures and called for his removal. Some fans also criticized club staff member Flemming Berg and demanded greater consistency.
