"It's a performance that I liked because the intensity was good, we moved the ball very well, we created a lot of final third entries, but the execution and the final pass and final action was not so good today," Mokwena told SuperSport TV.
"But these things happen. I'm very happy for the clean-sheet. We've been conceding and conceding and conceding so congratulations to the team for keeping the clean-sheet.
"It would've been nice to win the game in front of our people, but you can't win them all - you can't win them all," he added.
When asked what was tough about playing against ten men, he added, "Well, psychologically sometimes it feels a little bit easy but I was very happy with how we responded to that.
"We tried to bring Pitso in so that we could move the ball a bit faster and arrive in the final third instead of sending the ball into the final third because sometimes that's what you think.
"You think you are one-man short you have to rush the actions a bit and then when you rush you open up for counter-attacks. So, we had to pass more.
"We had to move the ball more, dominate and try to be a little bit more secure which I think we did we arrived in good areas today and on another day we score one of the two chances we had," Mokwena said.
