Matsatsantsa are two points behind their Tshwane rivals although they have played two game more with Sundowns focused on the African Football League.

Ten-man SuperSport recorded a 3-2 win over TS Galaxy on Wednesday in a game that saw left-back Ronald Pfumbidzai sent off on Wednesday.

“You don’t worry about that (league position), with what we’ve got and what we are achieving is good but we are limping,” Hunt said.

“We have so many players out and again we have lost three left-backs now. I enjoyed the result because it is away from home but I didn’t enjoy the performance because it’s unlike us to concede goals like that.

“But some of the (refereeing) decisions I haven’t seen in a long time. I mean the way it (game) was handled wasn’t good but we won and that’s the most important thing.”

SuperSport came from two goals down with Lyle Lakay getting a first half brace to pull his team out of the fire before the evergreen Bradley Grobler scored the winner late in the second half.

“With Lakay, I put him in the starting line-up because he has been left out a couple of times. So he did well and got on the ball for us which was good,” Hunt remarked about his two senior players the saved the day against the Rockets.

“Give him (Grobler) a break, don’t train him this week. Patch him up and go again because we’ve got three away games in a row. I don’t know how we are going to do it but I will worry about that next week.”

SuperSport next play Polokwane City and Sekhukhune United in the league before traveling to Egypt to play Modern Future in the CAF Confederation Cup.
