While the Brazilians missed a number of chances, the reigning Coach of the Season said his side were fully deserving of the win.
"Let me congratulate Mamelodi Sundowns for winning the game, I think the better team won, for sure by far and if you don't take your chances, this is what happens, you keep the game alive, could've killed the game long time ago," Mokwena told SuperSport after the game.
"But congratulations to the boys for fighting and giving it a very gallant fight, good performance, congratulations to Chiefs for being worthy opponents, ja, it's three points and we move on.
"Dominant, very dominant but you know but you know my disappointment is that we don't take the chances, how many chances do we need? And I said to them at halftime, I said, 'Historically, Kaizer Chiefs are a very lucky team, historically, you know and they don't need too many chances and if you keep them in the game like that, they gonna come back'," he said.
"And you saw 1-1 and at the end the game is 2-1, the winning goal comes in the dying minutes and it feels like it was a very tight game but I think Petersen was Man of the Match in my opinion because he made so many good saves, we had so many chances.
"But okay, we take it, we're happy with the three points, we move on, we try to be better for the next match."
