Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has dismissed suggestions they are as good as through to the Caf Champions League semifinals after a comprehensive 4-1 win over CR Belouizdad at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algeria on Saturday.
A brace by Namibian hitman Peter Shalulile, who scored his 100th top-flight goal, and goals from attacker Neo Maema and Cassius Mailula gave the Brazilians an advantage going into the quarterfinal, second leg at Loftus on Saturday.Mokwena praised his players for a clinical all-round performance but said they need to avoid taking a place in the semifinals for granted.“Stranger things have happened in football.
There is a lot of humility, we beat a very good side that we still have to face in Pretoria but it is only halfway,” he said.“Feet firmly on the ground because this is only halftime.”“We asked for a lot of concentration and a lot of sacrifice. The players worked hard on watching videos of the opposition and we knew a lot about them.“I don’t have to have an opinion about the opposition because I have to give a lot of respect to their technical team.
