Mamelodi Sundowns coach Mngqithi on Al Ahly: We are a better team football-wise

The Brazilians need to score at least two goals in order to give themselves a chance of reaching the semi-finals at the nine-time champion's expense

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi hopes that the high altitude in Pretoria will make it harder for Al Ahly to defend against his team in Saturday's Caf Champions League second leg quarter-final match.

Following last weekend's 2-0 defeat in Cairo, Mngqithi is optimistic that home ground advantage, and playing at high altitude at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Tshwane, will assist his side.

“The bigger issue is how they approach the game in Pretoria because they will never last very long if they play with the same intensity they played in Egypt, they will be forced to play a counter-attacking game," Mngqithi said, as quoted by the Citizen.
