Despite having one foot in the CAF Champions League semifinal, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena insists they are still focused on the quarterfinal return leg against CR Belouizdad at Loftus Versfeld Stadium tomorrow (3pm) as they eye another victory.
The Brazilians host the Algerian side with a healthy 4-1 lead from the first leg away last week, but Mokwena feels the job is not yet done and it is important they get a win tomorrow.
“Important game for us, a difficult match for us. I said after we played them that they are a very good side, a lot of internationals and will give us a lot of problems because I’m sure they will try to get the result,” Mokwena explained to the media yesterday.That the Algerian side are one of the two teams to have beaten Sundowns at home in the Champions League in the past few years is the main reason Mokwena is cautious heading to the match.
“Then they came to Pretoria and they beat us, so we know that they are a team that is difficult. And there are only two teams who have beaten us in the Champions League, they are one of the two.
