GO BIG OR GO HOME

Downs must klop Brazil's Fluminense to stay alive in Fifa's Club World Cup

- BY HERMAN GIBBS

IN THEIR upcoming Fifa Club World Cup clash against Brazilian Série A side Fluminense, the equation is brutally simple for Mamelodi Sundowns: win or go home.

But Sundowns' Chilean midfielder Marcelo Allende remains unfazed by the do-or-die situation, confident that the South Africans will secure victory, advance from Group F, and book their place in the Round of 16.

The match takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, US, at 9pm tonight.

After a promising start to the tournament with a win against South Korea's Ulsan HD, Sundowns suffered a setback when they were defeated by Borussia Dortmund in their second game on Saturday.
