Al Hilal coach Laurentiu Reghecampf on their 2-2 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns: We knew how they play and that's what helped us plan better for them
Laurentiu Reghecampf was not surprised by how Mamelodi Sundowns acquainted themselves in their 2-2 draw in the Caf Champions League game.
The Al Hilal coach said Sundowns played the kind of game they expected them to play at Loftus Versveld.
“We expect this kind of game we agreed to give them the possession because they have very good game in possession, but not dangerous in any moment,” said Regacampf.
“We score a goal, then we receive very easy the first goal, then Sundowns come back, score the second goal, and I’m happy about the result, because we succeed to score. We played more than I think 15 minutes with 10 players. It’s not easy. We know that Sundowns at home they are strong, and they try to keep the ball, they try to have possession and try to find the space between our players.
“I think we did well. We have one week to prepare the next game and I’m sure that you’re going to see another team in Rwanda. Our team will play home and like we play against MCA [Algers] we’re going to press, we’re going to do everything to win the game.”
The Sudanese side are also on five points like Sundowns who are on top of group c and finished the game in Pretoria with 10 men.
Reghecampf warned that Al Hilal will be taking no prisoners when they host Sundowns a week from now.
He emphasised that they will be out to earn three points in that game.
