Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso expressed his satisfaction with his team’s defensive performance in the match against Royal Army, emphasizing that the main issue was on the offensive side.
This match, which ended in a positive draw, was part of the first leg of the CAF Champions League final, where both teams seek to gain an advantage before the decisive return leg. Cardoso stressed that his team showed great competitive ability, and the offensive difficulties were expected against a strong defense like that of Royal Army.
Cardoso told “Super Sport” channel, “5 goals are very many and not a fair result, but we had to score an additional goal to achieve a greater advantage before the return match.”
This reflects the coach’s ambition to make the most of the available opportunities and indicates that the Sundowns coach believes his team deserves better results based on the overall performance.
He added, “The problem was in the attack, and it is not easy to break through the opponent’s defense,” referring to the strong defensive side of the opposing team.
The Sundowns coach concluded his talk by stressing the importance of ball possession and moving it into the penalty area to increase scoring opportunities in the return match; this offensive mindset is essential for the team to win and qualify.
Football fans are eagerly awaiting the return match, as each team strives to give their best to win the prestigious continental title.
