The South African club trail frequent rivals Wydad Casablanca 2-1 going into the semi-final second leg near Pretoria and Zwane knows how to unlock the Moroccan defence.
JOHANNESBURG - Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has likened star winger Themba Zwane to Spanish great Andres Iniesta and hopes he can help clinch a CAF Champions League final place this Saturday.
Iniesta starred as a midfielder for Barcelona and scored the goal that won Spain the World Cup for the only time nine years ago in South Africa. Aged 34, he now plays in Japan. They also had to play with 10 men for 18 minutes because Zambian centre-back Kabaso Chongo was red-carded after two cautions, a punishment that rules him out of the return match.
The Tunisian outfit, whose last two visits to Lubumbashi ended in a 0-0 draw and 5-0 drubbing, will believe that one away goal could be enough to see them into the final.There are no secrets between Sundowns and Wydad as they have met seven times in three seasons with six matches settled by one-goal margins and the other drawn.
