Divine Lunga from Mamelodi Sundowns discussed his team's approach to facing Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League. The defender shared their approach for the upcoming match at Cairo International Stadium on Friday night. Both teams failed to score in their previous meeting a week ago.
Lunga said the team wants to win during regular play rather than risk a penalty shootout. He believes penalties feel like gambling with results. The Zimbabwean player stressed that Sundowns must perform at their best to score during the 90-minute game time.
He mentioned that playing in large stadiums with many fans will not bother the team. Many Sundowns players have experience with big crowds when they compete for their national teams. Lunga feels confident that the noisy Egyptian supporters will not affect their performance during this important semifinal match.
