Rulani Mokwena breaks down how Mamelodi Sundowns defend

Earlier, Briefly News reported that it's been four games in the DStv Premiership and the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns have not conceded a goal. The club has a rock-hard defence and it's really starting to show as the season goes on.

Co-coach Rulani Mokwena is breaking down how the club lines up and avoids conceding goals. As much as scoring goals is important, it is also vital that teams who are challenging for the league keep clean sheets as much as they can.

"We have certain skills in our plans. Without exposing too much, it is clear that we don’t defend from the defensive line and we don’t rely only on our goalkeeper," said Mokwena according to TimesLIVE.
