    Only positive thing we didn't concede, otherwise terrible game

    The only positive thing is the fact that we didn't concede. Otherwise terrible game. The coach did everything right, but we were just not on song. If all your creative players are not having a good game, there's nothing you can do as a coach. We played like a team in pre-season - Sphe Phelo

    We made things hard for ourselves today

    We made things hard for ourselves today. No penetrative passes whatsoever. Our midfield wasn't willing to pay today. Our forwards were making any movements. I thought Shalulile would come and make things work, but he was worse - Thapelo Modjadji Jr.

    We will frustrate Al Ahly by scoring

    We have the advantage now; one goal away in the second leg will frustrate Al Ahly. We will beat them in Cairo. Remember, if they attack, we can get a goal - Mj Nyongwana

    Zero shots on target at home?

    Ah yes! The usual Sundowns masterclass in Africa, all the possession in the world, zero purpose. Zero shots on target at home? 'Brilliant strategy!' Can’t wait to see this ‘dominance’ in Egypt with absolutely no advantage - Thabo SG Sekhoacha 

  • Themba Zwane and Teboho Mokoena, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    Mokoena, Rayners, Sales & Ribeiro not starters!

    Call me a bad supporter, but l don't care. For me, Teboho Mokoena, Iqraam Rayners, Arthur Sales, and Lucas Ribeiro don't deserve to start -  Shepy Ka-Siba 

  • Miguel Cardoso, Mamelodi Sundowns Backpage

    Sundowns were playing like they have qualified

    Sundowns were playing like they had already qualified for the final. To be honest, I don't think we will proceed in Egypt. We played with chance -  Nemurangoni Rabza Rabelani

    Cardoso receiving orders from above?

    Lucas Ribeiro, in some instances, does not deserve to play 90 minutes. Either the coach receives orders on who to play, or he’s just digging his own grave. He must be brave and learn to replace his favourites when they don’t give the team anything. Marcello Allende should have been substituted as well - Moses Moreroa

    Reason why Sundowns fans don't go to Stadium?

    That is why Sundowns fans don't go to the stadium, you can't waste your time watching this nonsense football -  UuSpha Mabitsorh

  • Manqoba Mngqithi, Mamelodi Sundowns Backpage

    Even Manqoba was better

    In the last six games, we’ve not scored more than one goal in a match, two games with ended in 0-0. No creativity, no chances, I’m not sure what is actually wrong, but if this is how Cardoso will play, then we may need to rethink next season. Even Manqoba was better than him when it comes to attack - Teleios Farm 

  • Lucas Ribeiro, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    Ribeiro's worst game in Downs' shirt?

    Probably Ribeiro's worst game in a Sundowns shirt, our frontline didn't exert any pressure on Al Ahly's last line. Good to see Themba Zwane back. He gave us something different, he can play in the pockets and look for a forward pass - Kwanele Zulu
