Lelona Daweti says Mamelodi Sundowns had to leave everything on the field in order to defeat a well organized and determined University of Johannesburg Ladies 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Daweti scored Sundowns Ladies opening goal as early as the third minute, before Melinda Kgadiete added the second in the 46th minute.
While Banyana Ba Style walked away with all the three points, they were made to sweat by a stubborn UJ side who didn't allow them to play their normal fluid attacking football.
Daweti acknowledges the difficulty they had to go through to win the game, Daweti says she is delighted with the overall performance of the team.
"We are delighted with the overall performance of our team, especially considering the challenging nature of our opponents," Daweti told Mamelodi Sundowns media team.
"Throughout the game, we gave our absolute best and demonstrated our commitment by leaving everything on the field.

It was in the last few minutes of the game where it looked like UJ could steal a point from the game, especially after they had pulled one goal back.
Daweti says Downs character pulled them through from UJ's late onslaught.
"Despite facing some nerve-wracking moments in the last few minutes, we displayed great character and bravery, ultimately securing the valuable three points.
"This result serves as a solid foundation for us moving forward, and we are fully determined to carry the positive momentum into our next game."
Sundowns Ladies will face 14th placed Thunderbirds in their next Hollywoodbets Super League encounter.
