Speaking to the media after the game, Mosimane admitted that he had to give a good team talk during half time in the changing room to try and lift the player’s confidence.
Sundowns reclaimed their lead in the second half, coming out of the dressing room, scoring two goals, with Themba Zwane and Emiliano Tade finding the back of the net to hand the Brazilians a 3-1 win.
“We played well in different phases…”Mosimane said after the game.
“We were coming from two losses in a row so you could see in the first half, the team was not very confident unlike in the second half.
“I liked the talk in the dressing room just to give them more confidence because you could see that they were on a low,” he added.
