Ashley Du Preez scored a brace, while 21-year-old Jayden Adams netted the other goal as Stellies embarrassed Sundowns in their own backyard. Barker, beaming with pride has explained in detail his master plan that saw Stellies achieve a rare feat of defeating the league champions. The loss was Sundowns’ only third of the season and first in almost a year.
“They don’t like a team that it is in their face and a bit aggressive in their defence, and we knew that they would leave a high line just the way they have possession so deep in our half that any time we had an opportunity was to play Ashly [Du Preez] in behind. “For the whole club, it’s a special day to have achieved what we’ve done with the youngsters. We played a role [in Sundowns not looking like Sundowns during the game]. We didn’t allow them to be the Sundowns they can be… They’re a club built on success, and winning is in their DNA.
