"I think we were a little bit disappointed considering that we gave them two goals due to our silly mistakes we committed," Lebusa said ahead of Sunday's clash.
"They are not a bad side. They are a team that plays in your face, and they don't give you space.
"We've learnt from the previous game coming into Sunday, that we have to dig deep as players to make sure we go to the group stages."
Sundowns have made an impressive start to the 2021/2022 season and remain unbeaten in all competitions and are to contest the MTN8 final against Cape Town City at the Moses Mabhida Stadium next week Saturday.
