Pitso Mosimane says Mamelodi Sundowns will need to tighten up in defence if they are to see off teams in their remaining Absa Premiership games this season.

The Brazilians have kept just two clean sheets in five Premiership matches since the restart, picking up just six points from a possible 15.

They remain just three adrift of Kaizer Chiefs as a result of the league leaders’ similarly poor form.

And speaking ahead of facing Amakhosi on Thursday, Mosimane said his side will look to build on their win over Golden Arrows last time out, courtesy of a 90th-minute winner from Themba Zwane.

The Brazilian’ boss explained: “Since we have been in the bubble we have scored nine, how can you score nine and not get a chance to win one match.

“It’s about time, it’s not luck we fought for it, we’ve been fighting. It’s just that we haven’t kept zero at the back but the goals have been there.”

Mosimane added: “It’s good for us, good for the confidence we move on. For us it’s more about the break, we have been fighting and scoring, we don’t give up.

“Thursday is not a title decider, the way I know this thing, sometimes the title is decided on the last day. Mathematically the title will not be won on Thursday but we would love to win on Thursday. The fat lady hasn’t sung and we are still going.”

After facing Chiefs, Sundowns play Baroka, Polokwane City, Black Leopards and Bloemfontein Celtic.
