Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Miguel Cardoso, has called for better pitches in the PSL to help elevate the standard of domestic football.

on Wednesday night, the Brazilians had to come from behind to beat Magesi 2-1 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on a bumpy pitch.

“It is a little bit tough to deal with quality of the pitches. Watering of the pitch is something we have to think about,” he said as at a Nedbank Cup press conference ahead of their last 32 clash against amateur side, Sibanye Golden Stars at Loftus on Saturday (6pm).

“There are TV rights paid and the better the show, people at home will be able to watch and rights will be sold for higher prices. There is no reason to try to equalise the games by having slow pitches of low quality where the grass is not cut,” added the Sundowns coach.
