His teammate Iqraam Rayners follows close behind with 12 goals after also scoring in the weekend match. Cardoso praised several players for their efforts on the field.
He told SuperSport TV that good football naturally leads to goals. The coach worried less about individual scoring stats and values players who help the entire team succeed. Cardoso pointed out how Ribeiro made a great pass that let Rayner score. The team spirit matches their Ubuntu motto on their shirts.
Cardoso said Ubuntu means working as a team instead of separate players. He feels happy when they score by playing together. The coach believes enjoying football matters most. His players showed this team-first approach throughout their recent victory. The win keeps Sundowns near the top of the standings.
