Fans disappointed in Mamelodi Sundowns
The team's fans, commenting on the tweet, were sorely disappointed in their performance.
Gubz asked:
“Do you guys even practice penalties?”
Jayden_Tha pointed out:
“You’re just too used to winning under 90 minutes, right?”
Roger said:
“Welele, our master tactician, has run out of steam. You won’t win anything with arrogance. Never.”
LMK wanted to know:
“Guys, what’s with Sundowns and penalties?”
Fans also roasted Bongani Zungu for his tackle on Bernard Parker, which broke Parker's foot and earned Zungu a red card, leaving the team to play with only 10 players, which some believe contributed to the loss.
Christopher said:
“I’m so disappointed in Zungu. Showing remorse was the only thing he needed to do. Just hope Parker comes back from that fatal injury.
NtombyWaDowns pointed out.
“Zungu took us out single-handedly. No, we are not happy.”
