Mamelodi Sundowns have forgotten about their exit from the CAF Champions League and are now focused to defend their DStv Premiership title, according to defender Mosa Lebusa.

Sundowns got kicked out of the CAF competition after losing to Esperance of Tunisia in the quarter-finals stage. They are now back to play in the league and will host TS Galaxy at Loftus Versfeld.on Monday.

“Obviously coming from a Champions League exit, the mood was a bit low but 24 hours has passed and we are now looking forward to our next game where we have to redeem ourselves. We were sad after exiting the Champions League but we have now picked ourselves up and we have to focus on and finish the league. Everyone is now fully focused on the upcoming game,” said Lebusa.

Currently languishing first on the tally, with eight more games to conclude the season, the defending champions only need six points to seal the victory, which is what according to Lebusa, Bafana Ba Style are focusing on.

He further stated that the intention heading to this game, is to collect maximum points and make the Yellow Nation happy again, after the Friday heartbreak.

“We have a league to play for and we are playing against a good side that has been in form. They are one of the teams we haven’t played this season besides the Carling Knockout. It’s going to be an interesting match,” he said.

“If you check the league table, they are slowly climbing up and mathematically they can still catch us but I don’t think it will happen on Monday because we are playing at home and that’s where we will need to redeem ourselves. We have to go all out, attack and make sure that we get maximum points.”
