"Benefiting against Kaizer Chiefs is a blessing to us Mamelodi Sundowns fans. I so wish we can get 2 offside goals against them in our next match. We benefitted and I have no shame."

"The officials robbed chiefs 4 penalties and you're crying about one penalty."

Stuart Baxter only wants to focus on positives after the Sundowns loss

Briefly News previously reported that Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter wants to remain positive about his club even after they suffered a loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 quarter-final.

It was a match that was highly anticipated because of Kaizer Chiefs' rebuilding process. Mamelodi Sundowns dominated the beginning of the game and scored two goals in the first half.

In the second half, Chiefs came alive and responded with two of their own. New signing Keagan Dolly provided an assist that got all the fans excited. In the end, Sundowns won the game on penalties but Baxter didn't want the focus to be on the fact that Amakhosi lost.
