Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso expressed frustration over his team’s struggles with set pieces during their MTN8 quarter-final match against Polokwane City. Despite securing a 3-2 extra-time victory at Lucas Moripe Stadium, Cardoso highlighted the need for improvement in this area. The win extends Sundowns’ campaign in the tournament, but the coach remains focused on addressing tactical weaknesses.
Sundowns defender Aubrey Modiba has also voiced his team’s determination to reclaim the MTN8 title from Orlando Pirates. Modiba emphasized that the club aims to take back the trophy after Pirates ended their eight-year league dominance last season. With Pirates seeking to defend their MTN8 crown for the fifth time in a row, Modiba warned that Sundowns will not back down.
The rivalry between the two teams continues to intensify, with both clubs aiming to assert their dominance in South African football. While Sundowns have progressed in the MTN8, the challenge ahead remains formidable. The clash between the two rivals is expected to be a key moment in the tournament.
Modiba’s comments reflect the high stakes involved, as both teams battle for supremacy in the competition. The outcome of their encounter could shape the rest of the tournament. As Sundowns prepare for the next stage, the focus remains on overcoming challenges and achieving success.
