Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has opened up on his winning start with Brazilians after defeating Raja Casablanca.
The Brazilians got their first win in the CAF Champions League group stages after defeating the Moroccan outfit 1-0 on Sunday afternoon.
Cardoso feels the win makes their situation in the group a lot more comfortable, but says the team has a long way to go.

"Very important obviously. I believe now we're more comfortable but still a long way to go, this will be a very open group, a very tough one. We know our responsibility, we know how tough it will be, so today was important," Cardoso told SABC Sport after the game.
"Also difficult to manage, I felt a little bit anxiety, a lot to work in the future, we need to grow a lot but happy for the commitment, that is the base for that growth.
"So congratulations to the boys, the fans. Our sky is our limit, I believe hard work can pay off. Obviously not everything was perfect, we can do better. We need time and to have more time is to keep on winning."
Kutlwano Letlhaku was introduced early in the second half and ended up picking up the assists for Iqraam Rayners' goal.
"Very important to manage the game. At half-time we understood we had to change a little bit of structure and it gave us something and we tried to regain balance and managed the time," he added.
"It was an interesting game in this part also."
