Cardoso does not consider the first Champions League semi-final game at home a disadvantage

After the scheduling of the Champions League semi-final matches in South Africa, there were outcries that hosting the first leg at home is a bad omen. However, Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso does not share this view.

Details: The coach of the "Brazilians" ahead of the first match against Al-Ahly stated that such an advantage or disadvantage is relative, as it all depends on the outcome of the first match, regardless of where it is played.

Quote: "Obviously, the advantage or disadvantage of playing at home or away is relative, because it also largely depends on the result of the first match. If we can achieve a positive result without conceding, for instance, it will put pressure on them, because at any moment with our goal in the away match it can become very difficult to handle, especially if we score at home as well," Cardoso stated.
