‘Economy is doing wonderfully, Williams is becoming Bvuma! It is how Sundowns used to start under Pitso’

Mamelodi Sundowns started their Premier Soccer League title defense with a 1-1 draw against Chippa United on Saturday afternoon.

Arthur Sales scored the first goal of the match in favour of Masandawana before Khaya Mfecane's deflected effort leveled matters. Both teams struggled to find the winning goal but the spoils were eventually shared.

Have a look at how the football lovers reacted to the draw, as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

The economy is doing wonderfully. Ronwen Williams is becoming Bruce Bvuma –  Szoboszlai 

I told them Miguel Cardoso was coaching with a newspaper, but  they insulted me – Notsi Ls 

Let the critics talk, but come the end of the season, Sundowns will be laughing as champions – Tendani Irvin

That is how Sundowns used to start under Pitso Mosimane and grew stronger as the season progressed –  Biggy Smalls

I liked how Chippa United players celebrated, it was like they had won a World Cup – Martha Molefi 

Sundowns don't have a coach

 We must strike, the coach is seriously playing with us, Masandawana. This coach thinks this is a joke – Kelvin Mft 

 Those Chilli boys were on top of their game; Sundowns were lucky to draw the game – Hobyani Hector

We began with a draw. Let’s keep our heads up; there is still much work to be done. The coach also has a crucial role to play in making the right decisions. I hope he is going back to the drawing board to revise his tactics – Djlegendry 

Sundowns don't have a coach, but someone who's gambling and taking chances – Nduh Makhanya 

Teboho was playing rubbish in the middle of the park. The absence of Khuliso Mudau and Lucas Ribeiro is taking a toll – Jae M. Mosea II
