Mamelodi Sundowns may have already qualified for the CAF Champions League knockout stages with a match to spare and guaranteed Group A winners, but co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi insists they won’t treat their last match against Al-Merrikh as a dead rubber.
Last season, the Brazilians won the group with 13 points and the coach wants to end with 16 this time and also to take the winning momentum to the knockout phase. “We have a bigger responsibility to improve and better our 13 points we got last year in the group stages. “In the last two years, we have only lost three matches and we need to minimise the spirit of losing.”
