Nyatama was happy to collect a point on the day, as Swallows moved four points clear of the relegation zone with five games to go.
"Very difficult game for us. You could see how they were coming at us, pushing numbers and all that. But we had to stay compact and defend the point. This point will go a long way for us – it's gold," Nyatama told SuperSport TV.
"So, we'll take a point it's ok. We're playing against the champions; we didn't have to open the game. And going forward I think we'll take some positives into our next game against Stellenbosch.
"They are getting confidence, we just need consistency from now on going forward. The players need consistency now, get some points, it's very important.
"We still have 15 points to fight for and I think they can do it these boys and the confidence is up and as I said in the post-match - we need the support from these guys (the supporters) to help us to push us.
"Drawing against Sundowns – the champions it is good for us, you know. I'm quite happy with the performance from the players.
"They threw everything, (it was a) hundred percent performance and good attitude,"
