Maema expressed gratitude to his teammates for their efforts in ensuring they come out victorious.

“I think after FIFA break, it’s never easy to gel together as a team. I think first-half we could’ve done better, but the man of the match accolade, it shows that the type of game we put out there as a team,” he told club’s media team.

“For me, individual awards is just a reflection of all our hard work. So, I just wanna thank my teammates for keeping it together and make sure we get the three points.

“But this one [award], I needed. I wanted to push myself to make sure that today [Thursday] at least I get to 80 [minutes], but I made it to 90 [minutes]. These three points, firstly, it was for them. I’m happy that they came in numbers today, and I just urge them to continue supporting the boys.”

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso insists three points matter more than goal difference following their Betway Premiership win over Chippa United on Friday night.

The Brazilians climbed to the top of the table with an emphatic 4-1 victory at Loftus Versfeld but remain locked in a neck-and-neck title race with Orlando Pirates with eight matches to go.

Cardoso downplayed the importance of piling up goals, maintaining that consistency in securing points will ultimately decide whether Sundowns go all the way for a record-extending ninth crown in a row.
