Orbit College head coach Pogiso Makhoye says they looked at the fixture list and felt the game against Mamelodi Sundowns was one they ‘can lose’.

Goals in the second half from Reisinho and Iqraam Rayners guided Sundowns to a 2-0 win over Orbit at Olympia Park on Tuesday night.

Makhoye felt his side competed better against Sundowns compared to their first meeting earlier in the season.

“Compare to the first game when we played them, I think today we came and competed. I’m happy we know we’re playing a quality side so even though the quality we have it’s not the same,” the coach told SuperSport after the game.

Like I said before, the one-versus-one – the other one would be 90 and the other 100 (percent) that’s the difference between us and them. But we keep soldiering on.”

When asked where the points will come from, he added, “Like I said, after our game against TS Galaxy we needed those points because we’re playing this game, we’re not under pressure we knew that when we looked at the fixture that these ones we can lose.

“But thinking about it we can get something out of it, but this one is quality I mean we’re playing… let me leave it there.”
