Sundowns thrashed La Passe 7-0 in the first leg of their second preliminary round tie at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Sunday.
The two sides will meet again for the second leg of the fixture at the same venue on Friday .
The scoreline correctly suggests Masandawana had a complete stroll in the first leg, but Mngqithi said the islanders are not as weak a team as everybody might think. “The twins that play up top, No 19 [Assad Aboudou] and No 2 [Affandi Aboundou], their right-wing back, [Shane Archille Ernesta], those players have been to trials in the Bundesliga.“We knew the structure was going to be three at the back with two wing backs and two sitting midfielders.
