Komphela calls for courage as Downs chase CAF glory
Cape Argus
|May 28, 2025
SENIOR coach Steve Komphela says Mamelodi Sundowns must remember what helped them overcome past challenges as they head into the final stretch to reclaim the CAF Champions League.
Sundowns will face Pyramids in the second leg of the final at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Sunday night (kick-off 7pm). The Brazilians travel to Egypt on the back foot, having conceded during their 1-1 draw with Pyramids in the first leg, giving the Egyptian side a valuable away goal.
Lucas Ribeiro opened the scoring for the hosts early in the second half, but a lapse in concentration saw Walid El Karti net a late equaliser for the visitors. However, if any team can score and possibly win outright in North Africa, it’s Sundowns.
During their impressive run on the continent, the Brazilians held firm in away matches in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
