“Honestly speaking, I think, it’s still a long way, but we know we are Sundowns,” he told Supersport TV.
“We are expected to get the results in every game we play, and I do believe we will get the results.
“And I do believe in the second round of the semifinals you’ll see a completely different team.
“We needed this (loss) as well probably as a wakeup call because when you keep winning and winning, even when you not done exceptionally well, it creates an impression that you will always win, or you are entitled to win.
“And I think this is very good because it will give the team a very good wakeup call.
“And I am very confident, we will do very well in the second round,” Mngqithi concluded.
