Today, Mamelodi Sundowns will play the first leg of the CAF Champions League final against Egypt’s Pyramids. Legends of the Gauteng club already know which Pyramids player Miguel Cardoso and his staff need to keep a close eye on.
Details: Former Sundowns goalkeeper John Tlale highlighted the figure of Fiston Mayele, a player who has attracted interest from South Africa’s biggest clubs.
Quote: “He’s the player they need to constantly track, just like Mayele. They have to be wary of Mayele. Sometimes he can go missing in the game, but then suddenly appear and score. He’s very powerful. You can’t afford to lose focus when you’re up against someone like Mayele.
In the match against Orlando Pirates, he wasn’t very active, but managed to score two goals out of nowhere. Sundowns must focus on scoring and keeping a clean sheet to head to Egypt with an advantage. A lead on aggregate will take the pressure off. They need to find the right balance because they have a squad capable of competing,” Tlale said in an interview with KickOff.
