Denis Onyango may have won every trophy with Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Premiership, but he is still hungry for more.
Onyango, who was a hero as he saved five penalties to help Sundowns win the MTN8 title for the first time in 14 years against Cape Town City on Saturday, set his sights on winning the CAF Champions League again with the club.
“It’s huge winning the Champions League and I want to be the first Ugandan player to win it twice and it’s a big one that I’m really looking forward to. But we need to collect the ones in front of us. They give us momentum going forward and I think this was a good one for me because I have never won it. I lost a few of times before.
The MTN8 was also special to Onyango, who wears the number 14 jersey for Sundowns, as they ended their 14-year wait to lift the title at Moses Mabhida Stadium. “Probably, my shirt number may have made it possible, but the boys fought well and kept on believing even when we missed the first two penalties. We knew we needed to stay focused.
