'Mamelodi Sundowns: Whoever told them to sign Mothiba won't see heaven'

Mamelodi Sundowns claimed a narrow 1-0 win over AS FAR Rabat in the first leg of the CAF Champions League final at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.

Aubrey Modiba scored the lone goal to give the South African heavyweights an advantage in their bid to win their second star. However, it could have been more if only Masandawana had taken their chances in front of thousands of their supporters.

AS FAR will show Downs flames

Teboho Mokoena had a poor passing shift. He is not suited to play on the left of central midfield because he is extremely one-footed. He is better than Jayden Adams defensively, so he should be central and protect the defence. The experiment is not working – Kenneth Xulu

AS FAR will show Mamelodi Sundowns flames in the second leg. Masandawana could have done better – Tshepo

I don’t see AS FAR Rabat coming back unless they are going to come back with another set of players – Waka Waka

Why are Monnapule Saleng and Lebo Mothiba at Sundowns? We need to be honest. Mothiba over Rayners? Seriously? – Bongani

Keanu Cupido should go to the World Cup. The second leg will be tough. A one-goal lead is not good for us; we need to score two goals away. The pressure is on us in the second leg – Murphy Mokobela

Expensive players not delivering for Downs

Sundowns will be the first team in the world to win the domestic league and CAF Champions League on the same weekend. Also, the first team to win the League whilst outside the country – Daniel Tshidi Ngoasheng

Mamelodi Sundowns buy these expensive players for the CAF Champions League, but a local defender wins the game – Mlando Gcwanini

The players wanted to play back passes, but the coach wanted them to attack. The players overruled the coach. The coach even made positive changes and brought on attackers, but the players were not giving the ball, shocking that Ronwen Williams was happy with the draw – Muthuwanga Mash

What’s up with Miguel Cardoso and Iqraam Rayners recently? Whoever advised Sundowns to sign Mothiba won’t see heaven, I swear – Metheo

AS FAR will do everything possible to overturn the score, but our players must just play their normal football, and a goal or two will come. The second leg is a pound-for-pound – Nare Adam
