Mamelodi Sundowns wing Anthony Laffor says the most important thing for his side to do is to win their Caf Champions League first leg tie against Zamalek.

The Brazilians will welcome the White Lions to the Lucas Moripe Stadium when the two side’s meet on Saturday.

The 31-year-old believes his side’s victories over Zamalek in the tournament’s group stages will count for little when they face-off in the finals.

‘It’s different football now in a final and this is not the Zamalek we played in the group stage,’ Laffor said.

‘But the good thing is that we have been doing our analysis very well and what happened in Egypt and South Africa is different. The final is a completely different game.’

Laffor admits that the most important thing for Sundowns to do on Saturday is to win the match, to give them an advantage heading into the second leg.

‘We need to capitalise on our chances and we need to score goals,’ he added.

‘I don’t think anybody in the changeroom is thinking about our previous results against them.

‘We forgot about them and the most important thing is to win on Saturday and wrap up the match here before our return leg.’

Mamelodi Sundowns against Zamalek kicks off at 15:00.
