Sundowns last won this trophy in 2007 when it was known as the SAA Supa8 when they defeated Orlando Pirates 1-0 in the final, and it remains the only trophy that eludes the current generation. “Everything that we put in from training we try to translate it into the match situations, and I think the players have done very well since the beginning of the season on that front.
“It is our target and the message was very clear from the beginning from all of us as coaches that this crop of players must always make their own legacy, because they have a responsibility to the club and fans.
