Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has sent a message to his critics before walking out of his post-match tv interview.
Masandawana climbed to the top of the Betway Premiership after beating Stellenbosch FC 1-0 at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.
It was Sundowns’ third win of the league campaign, and they moved atop of Sekhukhune United and Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the later kick-offs.
After the match, Cardoso hailed the result as a massive win for his team, which will help calm matters after selections of the club’s fans called for him to be sacked following the goalless draw with Kaizer Chiefs.
“I think that we should’ve scored more than one goal in the first half,” he said on SuperSport TV.
“We thought we still have that capacity, but we wanted to win the ball in the front in the right way.
“With the absence of Arthur we could not really find that connection. We brought Jaden a little bit higher than usual, trying to find those connections.
“But the emotional reaction from Stellenbosch was good as expected, but we gave ourselves a fantastic result.
“It’s important to pass a message to the outside to give peace to the team. This team needs peace, needs support and the true Mamelodi Sundowns fans should support the team.
“Look at the table, look where we are after five matches after playing away at Stellenbosch, away at Kaizer Chiefs.
“We didn’t lose, we keep winning and we are very well…”
Cardoso then walked out of the interview without allowing any more questions.
