Cardoso unhappy with scheduling of matches

“After Stellenbosch, it’s Richards Bay, after Richards Bay, Polokwane, and after Polokwane, Polokwane – that’s what we have to do, seven matches in 21 days, nobody in the world, but we will do it.

“That’s my thoughts.”

A jibe to Sundowns?

Esperance Sportive de Tunis head coach Patrice Beaumelle has pointed to tactical maturity and the collective experience of Mamelodi Sundowns’ players as the defining factor in his side’s CAF Champions League semi-final elimination on Saturday

‘It’s a matter of maturity, but as well players used to playing together, to combine,” he told the media.

“I was fighting, I was not happy…. I went to meet the players, congratulate them – Williams, I know him very well. I wish them all the best to the final.

“They have to win their second star to chase after us, because we have four. So, I wish them all the best — but yeah, maturity is very important at such a level.”

Mamelodi Sundowns’ CAF Champions League run could earn them over R98 million, boosted by increased prize money. Reaching the final already guarantees significant earnings, with even higher rewards if they win.

Sundowns legends planning for ceremonial burning of impepho

Legends of Mamelodi Sundowns will perform a ceremonial burning of impepho in their homes ahead of their second consecutive CAF Champions League final.

“On Saturday, the team did not perform as well as expected, but in football, results can sometimes be unpredictable,” shares Eric Ramasike, in conversation with KickOff.

“We are pleased to have reached the final. Our hope is that the best squad will compete and secure another star. Sundowns has established itself as a dominant force in African football, consistently reaching the Champions League final.

“This time, we aim to earn that second star.

“I speak as one of the club’s ancestors. At our homes, we will perform our rituals and engage in prayer, burning impepho until the final match. Being of black heritage, the burning will occur daily.
