Fresh from penning a four-year contract extension yesterday, skipper Hlompho Kekana is optimistic he can lead Mamelodi Sundowns over the mountain top against Al Ahly in CAF Champions League.
"I hope we don't get a stage-fright and try to give a good performance. I think one early goal can set the tone. We can't start slow in this match. We must come out strong."
With a solid advantage, the Egyptians are expected to park the bus in Atteridgeville - something that the South Africans are aware of."I would presume that they will come out very cautious on the day because they know that we will put them under pressure. "We have to play our normal game when we are at home. It has worked out well for us because we have been able to kill off games early. When we score we know that our next goal is coming.""Things are different this time around. I don't know if we will score that many goals this time but we are going all out for a win."
