SuperSport United captain Ronwen Williams is ready to inflict damage on Mamelodi Sundowns' perfect season so far in the upcoming Tshwane derby.
The goalkeeper was on the losing side over the weekend as Matsatsansta suffered a 2-1 defeat against relegation-threatened Marumo Gallants.
Williams, 29, admits that the defeat was merited as SuperSport did not perform well following the mandatory two-week FIFA international break.
"Obviously, we're coming off a very disappointing result – a defeat at home. We [are] disappointed with the whole outcome of the game. We didn't apply ourselves like we know we can," Williams said.
"The performance, the effort wasn't there, and we got what we rightfully deserved, which was a defeat.
"We have a lot of things we need to fix. We have worked hard, and we have analysed it, and we know the effort wasn't good, and we need to fix it; otherwise, we will get smashed in our next game."
Meanwhile, Sundowns are on a run of 10 matches without tasting defeat in the Premiership.
Additionally, Masandawana are yet to concede a goal while netting 17 strikes since the campaign started in August.
"Coming up against Sundowns, they are obviously the champions; they have been doing well throughout the season," Williams continued.
"They haven't conceded, which shows the work they have been putting in on the training grounds.
"We are going out there to fight. We have our own ambitions and our own targets. Obviously, we let ourselves down in our previous game, especially losing at home.
"But we want to go out there and rectify our mistakes and give a better account of ourselves.
"We [are] going to fight and battle and make it easy for them. We need to get points and close the gap."
SuperSport and Sundowns clash on Wednesday at Loftus Versfeld.
Kick-off is at 17:30.
