Sundowns send strong message to rest of Africa with Al Ahly thrashing: This was an unequivocal message that should leave the rest of the continent quaking in their boots.
Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena made seven changes to the team that drew with Stellenbosch in their last league match last weekend.Between the poles, Ronwen Williams replaced Reyaad Pieterse and in defence Mothobi Mvala and Aubrey Modiba came in for Mosa Lebusa and Terrence Mashego.In the midfield, Teboho Mokoena and midfield kingpin Themba Zwane replaced Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi and Rivaldo Coetzee while Cassius Mailula and Marcelo Allende came in for Haashim Domingo and Thepelo Morena.
Sundowns got off to a flying start when Allende struck from outside the penalty box to beat Al Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy who was unsighted by a number of his defenders.The Egyptian defenders were still trying to settle in the game but they were hit by Allende’s sucker punch after he received a clever short pass from Zwane on the edge of the box.Al Ahly roared back into the game ten minutes later when Mohamed Sherif put the ball past the outstretched hands of a stranded Williams after.
