"It was nice to be on the field today Sundowns is a very good team so I had to show my quality against a team like this you know. It's good," Ralani told SuperSport after the match.
"I hoped the one time or two I broke through we could have got one or two goals in the first half but we couldn't and they got us on a counter in the second half and scored the goal.
"We had a very good game but they took it all it's unfortunate for us. This is my best game for City so far I think."
