Uganda Cranes skipper and reigning African Best Player based on the continent Dennis Onyango says his Mamelodi Sundowns team has been working so hard to claim the summit in the Absa Premiership.
The Ugandan goalkeeper made a series of sensational saves in his team’s 2-0 victory over Golden Arrows on Friday, keeping a clean sheet that helped the defending champions go top of the table for the first time this season.
And Onyango who was named man of the match in that game said: “Thanks to the guys, they’ve been fighting very hard. We knew it was going to be a very difficult game for us. We wanted to be on top of the log,”
“We’ve been down for a very long time and we’ve been fighting to come up. I had to keep the team in the game and we got the result.
“We knew they are a very difficult team, very compact, very hard working and they play pound to pound, for us it was all about getting the right moment and the chances came and we executed.”
The South African league has six games left to its end, and the African champions now sit top of the table with 50 points, a point above Cape Town City who have played a game more.
