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
BackpageWe 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.
AFPWe 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
BackpageAh 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
BackpageCall 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
BackpageSundowns 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
BackPagePixLucas 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
That is why Sundowns fans don't go to the stadium, you can't waste your time watching this nonsense football - UuSpha Mabitsorh
BackpageIn 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
BackpageProbably 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
