Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena says he is not sure how his side lost to Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final.
Pirates secured back-to-back Nedbank Cup titles after coming from behind to defeat to Sundowns 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
The game was seemingly headed for extra-time until substitute Relebohile Mofokeng snatched the winning goal in the 93rd minute.

"I said I don't know what happened, I honestly don't know what happened, football can be very cruel can it? I mean we miss a penalty, they get a penalty, they scored, they equalised," Mokwena said on SuperSport.
"We dominated the game, I mean, then there's this free-kick I don't even think it should be going that way but okay this is what cup finals are all about, so congratulations to Pirates, we take the lesson and we move on."
The Brazilians coach also opened up on Khuliso Mudau playing through a shoulder injury he picked up in the first half.
"Ja well it's wear and tear, it's been a long season, a lot of games but okay… I mean I don't know how we lost this match honestly and I don't wanna use injuries as an excuse, because we should have won the game. Only one team on the pitch but anyway, it's football isn't it?" Mokwena asked.
"He's (Costa) injured, he gets clattered, 'Sailor' (Mudau) was clattered but anyway, congratulations to Pirates, it's football."
