Rulani Mokwena Happy After Mamelodi Sundowns Top CAF Champions’ League Group! The Brazilians beat Al Hilal over the long weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns defeated Al Hilal 1-0 in the CAF Champions League on Saturday afternoon. Co-coach Rulani Mokwena was happy with the consequence of his side’s performances.

The Brazilians have won three consecutive group matches to achieve this feat. They got the better of continental rivals Al Ahly both at home and away from home.

This gave them the opportunity to mathematically top their group and ensure that they have a kinder draw in the quarterfinal stage.

“Congratulations to Mamelodi Sundowns for initially qualifying.” Mokwena told the club media.

“We came into this match with 10 points. Yesterday’s result allowed us to mathematically be in the knockouts and it’s not an easy game to play particularly when you know that you’ve qualified.

“It becomes more difficult particularly when you have to deal with the heat, the pitch and then you also have to play against a very good Al Hilal side that is trying to qualify.” He added.

Their 3-1 win showed the levels that they depicted in the group stages of the tournament.

“What made it even more difficult was having to play most of the match with one man down. This made the game very very difficult for our team.

“But instead of complaining we got on with the business. We showed respect for our badge and for our nation and played the game the way it was supposed to be played.” He confirmed.

Their last match will be academic and will probably be used as an opportunity to field younger players. Rulani Mokwena Happy After Mamelodi Sundowns Top CAF Champions’ League Group!
