CAF Champions League winner Siyanda Zwane has explained why he is confident Mamelodi Sundowns will progress to the final of the continental club competition, despite a narrow defeat in the first leg semi-final against Esperance.
Rulani Mokwena's men were beaten 1-0 by the Tunisian giants in Tunis, as Esperance kept their 10th clean sheet in this edition of the Champions League. The North Africans have been solid at the back through the competition and are not going to lie down and play dead against the DSTV Premiership champions in the second leg.

With a solid defence which has seen them concede in just one of their 11 matches so far in the competition, Sundowns have a tough task in trying to find a chink in the opposition armour.
Zwane, however, is not too worried. He is so confident that Sundowns will progress to the final of the competition.
"I know that this is going sound strange to you; I have no fear at all. I have zero doubt that Sundowns will go to the final. Sundowns is a a different animal when they are playing at home and you will see it. I Sundowns winning 2-0. I see them keeping a clean sheet in that match. I know how motivated the boys are when they are playing at home and I know how much going to the final means for the entire team and also the president of the club," Zwane said to the Siya crew.
