Reflecting on the three stalemates against Amakhosi and the Buccaneers including TS Galaxy, the outspoken tactician believes that was not a fluke because his men are physically and mentally fit.

“My players can match Sundowns when it comes to fitness and mental strength,” added Mammila.

“The only slight advantage for Sundowns is that they are clinical in front of goal.

“We are still building towards being clinical in front of goal, and we are not yet there presently.

“Our record will tell you we have scored only one goal in three matches, and we need to improve on that to get the much-needed wins.”
