During a Sundowns' podcast on Twitter (X), Modise said the match was ‘men versus boys’ while he also showed appreciation for red-hot star Lucas Ribeiro.

Modise said:

“It was one of those games to separate men from boys and I think it was about time to remind people why Mamelodi Sundowns has been the dominant team for so long. Once you are at the top for too long then everybody wants to drag you down and that was the case with Sundowns and that’s the game that reminded everybody why Sundowns is Sundowns. Also, there are silly fights about who the footballer of the year is and we all know who the footballer of the year should be.”

Sundowns will face Galaxy in their next match, according to the tweet below:
