Katlego Mphela, a striker for Mamelodi Sundowns who are placed second in South Africa's Premier Soccer League (PSL), admitted on Monday that rivals SuperSport United are now unbeatable in the PSL title race.

Sundowns drew their postponed game with Moroka Swallows 3-3 on Friday night after trailing by two goals when the lights went out at the Super Stadium in Atteridgeville near Pretoria on Wednesday.

While it was a valiant effort from them, Mphela told the Sowetan newspaper he feels it wasn't enough to put the league leaders on the back foot.

"I don't think we should blame anyone for our failure to win the championship but ourselves," he said. "It was crucial for us to beat Moroka Swallows but we didn't. We conceded a goal which killed us off.

"Honestly, I don't see us winning the league now and SuperSport are the deserving winners. There's no shame losing out to them since they have been playing well and are deserving winners."

Downs are four points behind Supersport, with two fixtures remaining in the season. If SuperSport win their next game against low-ranked Wits, they will be guaranteed a third successive championship.
