‘Sundowns have built a platform to dominate

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS: Dominant.

The veteran goalkeeper spoke during Sundowns' celebratory bus parade through Mamelodi yesterday, after the Brazilians secured their second continental crown with victory over AS FAR Rabat in Morocco.

For Onyango, the achievement carried emotional significance beyond simply adding another trophy to the club’s cabinet.

The Ugandan international was also part of the Sundowns side that conquered Africa for the first time back in 2016 and admitted this latest success felt symbolic for the club’s growth over the last decade.

“This is very special, we’re changing the day the badge looks like,” Onyango said, while standing alongside club captain Themba Zwane. “This feels like an anniversary for us because we last won it 10 years ago as well”
