‘Cardoso did a Riveiro & sold the match! Local coach could’ve trusted Zwane; Miguel must stay in Egypt’

Mamelodi Sundowns‘ hopes of winning the second Caf Champions League star were dashed on Sunday night after a 2-1 loss against Pyramids, and a 3-2 aggregate defeat.

It was not an anticipated result by the majority of the South Africans, especially after the Premier Soccer League giants got past Al Ahly in the semi-final.

Many Masandawana supporters feel Miguel Cardoso was to blame for the loss, especially after leaving out players they felt would have made a difference. Have a look at what they said after a heartbreaking defeat.

Tell Cardoso to stay in Egypt

As much as we South Africans wanted Sundowns to win, Pyramids saved us from noise pollution -Mocheso Ratolaka

This is all on the coach, looking like a secret agent, how can you leave your best lineup on the bench? – Munyaradzi Laurel Majoma

Tell Cardoso not to come back here. He must just stay in Egypt – Sir-Lusenga Thulani

Miguel Cardoso did a Jose RIveiro. He deliberately sold the game to Pyramids – La Ro Na 

Cardoso’s got a personal vendetta against us, I swear! If he hadn’t benchwarmed Zwane and Shalulile, we’d be sipping champagne and celebrating that trophy right now. Instead, I’m stuck with a month’s worth of household chores as punishment – Kialyn Montana

So what’s going to happen to Miguel Cardoso since Rhulani Mokwena was fired for failing to – Ntate Mohale
