We told Kekana to go for it – Pitso
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says he told Hlompho Kekana to take long-range shots as he knew that Orlando Pirates keeper Wayne Sandilands tends to leave his goal-line often.

“We knew the strengths and weaknesses of the players who come from us and are at Pirates, hence the goal. We had to press the goalkeeper, he is always off the line, we know that. We told Kekana to go for it, it is his speciality,” said Mosimane.
The win saw Sundowns get back to winning ways after suffering three successive defeats.
