Sundowns CAF Opponents Already Planning For Second Leg

Sundowns CAF Opponents Already Planning For Second Leg

Mamelodi Sundowns

Despite defeating Mamelodi Sundowns in their CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg match on the weekend, Chicken Inn are cautious about celebrating too much just as yet, as the two sides will be playing again in the second leg of the continental competition.

The Zimbabwean side beat Sundowns 1-0 in their match at the Barbourfields Stadium on Saturday.

"The good thing is that we did not concede at home, but we still expect a tough encounter when we go to South Africa, particularly because Khama will be back.

"Sundowns is a good side, but when Khama is in there they are even more dangerous. He is their main man. We just have to make a plan for him and make sure that if he plays we are able to snuff him out. But for now we have to enjoy this win and we are indebted to the Highlanders and Dynamos supporters who were behind us on Saturday.

"I am very proud of the way the guys played. We stuck to our game plan and it worked for us. We wanted to snuff their suppliers and we did that well. Here we played as a unit and everyone gave 100%. We will be hoping for more of the same in the second leg. Only if we had scored a couple of goals we would have been more comfortable. The problem for us is that in South Africa we will play under the lights and most of our players here have never been exposed to that so we will try and have as many training sessions in the evening," Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas told Zimbabwe's NewsDay.
