Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has urged the PSL to implement a mandatory policy for pre-match and half-time pitch watering.
Masandawana secured a 2-0 victory over Richards Bay in a hard-fought Betway Premiership clash at King Zwelithini Stadium on Saturday.
However, coach Miguel Cardoso expressed his dissatisfaction with the state of the pitch, citing its dry condition as a significant factor.
The dry surface hindered Sundowns' ability to control the game effectively, while Richards Bay created promising counter-attacking opportunities due to the difficult playing conditions.
WHAT WAS CARDOSO’S MESSAGE TO PSL
“It was very difficult to play on dry a pitch and I think it’s important for the PSL to take a decision to oblige (clubs) to water the pitch before the warm-up and after, as well as at half time in order to increase the quality of football,” Cardoso said.
“Obviously, people will say my players are more technical and they get an advantage from it, but it’s about what kind of football you want to sell.
“The (quality) football could be played by both teams because I also saw good players from Richards Bay and other teams we played already.
“In the interests of football, it would make the game quicker for both teams and it would make it more spectacular. In the end, we want to have a good show.”
