The Brazilians were frustrated by Bahlabane ba Ntwa and held to a 1-1 draw in a Betway Premiership at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium last month, and Cardoso has stressed the need for tactical discipline if they are to avoid another setback.

"We need to understand that their game is hard to control in terms of pressing the spaces upfront.

"We need to have good control of the match in terms of ball possession," he said at Thursday's Carling Knockout press briefing in Bryanston.
