Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena believes his side will “score a goal or two” to defeat Al Ahly when the two sides meet for the African Football League semi-final return leg in Cairo.
The Brazilians will go into the semi-final second leg with a one-goal lead after claiming a narrow 1-0 victory over the Egyptian giants at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Sunday.
Thapelo Maseko scored the only goal of the game after he unleashed a stunning from outside the box to find the back of the net against the Egyptian giants.
Mokwena insists that his side will now go in search of more goals when the two sides meet at the Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday.
“We have got a goal in Cairo, we know that and Al Ahly knows that too, and it stresses them a lot. The message that they have got is they know Sundowns can score in Cairo,” Mokwena told his club’s official website.
“You could see the frustration on the players when they walked off the pitch, because I would presume that the first thing they will have in mind is that Sundowns must not score an away goal.
“Let’s see what happens, it’s only half time. I think this will be an interesting game, but as I said, I think they also know that Sundowns has a goal in Cairo, if not two.”
