Though they managed the all-important away goal, Sundowns have it all to do in the return match at FNB Stadium on Saturday, where Mokwena insisted the Brazilians will be capable of producing a goal. “In football you either win, lose or draw and Klopp said to me ‘if you want to succeed in football, lose the right matches’. I think we lost the right match because it doesn’t put us out of the competition and we still have a chance to correct the tie.”
“It is about watching the game again, do corrections and prepare for the second leg but we will be in the semifinals.” “They grew in the game and took advantage of playing at home and the quick equaliser they got galvanised their supporters, and you could feel the energy gave them a bit of a boost.
