Kennedy Mweene Desperate to Win MTN 8 Trophy with Mamelodi Sundowns! The Masandawana goalkeeper has won every domestic trophy except for the top 8 trophy.
Kennedy Mweene was the hero for Mamelodi Sundowns against Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday. The performance was motivated by his desire to claim this season’s MTN 8 trophies.
Mweene saved 4 penalties against Kaizer Chiefs during the spot kicks.
Mamelodi Sundowns have not won the MTN 8 since the formation of the tournament over 10 years ago. They have won every domestic and continental trophy except for this one.
“For me personally I need this trophy more than anything, I think it is the only thing [that I don’t have] in my trophy cabinet.” Mweene told the club’s media department.
“We were disappointed, we were leading 2-0, then ending up giving away the lead [but] it was one of those games. It was the first game of the season; it was the first 90 minutes we played [plus extra time] we will always find those shortcomings.” He lamented.
The Brazilians famously always fail at the first hurdle of the MTN 8. They almost failed once more but were able to hold out against a resilient Chiefs.
“I think it wasn’t the best of performances but considering that it’s the first game of the season obviously there will be some shortcomings in terms of fitness, the cohesion in the team and it could show when we were playing.
“It doesn’t matter how we won it, at the end of the day it’s a trophy which has eluded us for so many years since I’ve been at Sundowns.” The jubilant keeper said.
They will take on Golden Arrows in the semi-finals. Kennedy Mweene Desperate to Win MTN 8 Trophy with Mamelodi Sundowns!
