Sundowns coach Cardoso does homework on Nigeria trip

Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns have discovered who they will face in the CAF Champions League.

After losing in the final to Pyramids FC last season, Sundowns automatically skipped the last 64 round and qualified for the last 32 stage.

Remo Stars have set up a meeting with Sundowns after the Nigerians beat Comoros club Zilimadjou 5-0 on aggregate in the last 64 round.

Sundowns will travel to Nigeria for the first leg on 17 October, before hosting the return leg in Tshwane on the 24th. The winning team will advance to the group stage.

“The trip to Nigeria is obviously difficult,” Cardoso told journalists.

“The city we are going to play in we have to travel for two days. We can not make both flights in one day, but we are here to deal with solutions not problems,” the Portuguese coach added.
