Champions League final finely poised as coaches eye showdown
May 26, 2025
|Cape Argus
THE CAF Champions League final is hanging on a knife-edge, and the coaches of the two protagonists are in agreement that nothing can be taken for granted just yet.
Even with the away goal advantage they gained from that last-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday, Pyramids FC coach Krunoslav Jurčić was not prepared to consider his team champions just yet.
The Egyptian side need only prevent Sundowns from scoring in the second leg, which they will host on Sunday, to be crowned continental champions for the first time. But the Croatian knows better than to count his chickens before they've hatched.
"This is only the first half," he said in the post-match media conference.
"We still have one more match to play, and it will be a very difficult match because we know how well Sundowns play away from home."
