'Mamelodi Sundowns were let down by Miguel Cardoso's plumber tendency! We expected Themba Zwane but Neo Maema killed tempo; Pyramids goal healed Kaizer Chiefs' pain of missing MTN8' - Fans

Masandawana's chances of conquering the continent hang on a balance after sharing spoils in Mzansi.

Mamelodi Sundowns' concentration lapses allowed Pyramids to score in the stoppages and force a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Caf Champions League final staged at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

It was a disappointing end to the Premier Soccer League champions, who had dominated most of the game.

A section of the fans now believe their coach, Miguel Cardoso, is to blame for the draw.

    Cardoso let Downs down?

    When the coach didn't give Zwane enough game time in the remaining games of the league, I thought he wanted to use him in this game, but only to bench him when we needed him the most, and introduce Neo Maema, who hardly featured in league games. We were let down by the coach, hope he bounces back in Egypt - Hlengane Chris
