So much more to come from Mamelodi Sundowns despite Caf Champions League rout

The Brazilians secured a 5-0 victory against Cote d’Or on Saturday, but they still have much more to offer

Mamelodi Sundowns’ critics will point to the paucity of their opponents—Cote d’Or—and their initial difficulties in front of goal to detract from what was a professional performance as they demolished their opponents 5-0 in the Caf Champions League on Saturday.

There’d be some truth to those arguments.

Cote d’Or are minnows compared to Sundowns; they play in 2,000-capacity Amite Stadium in Praslin, had never progressed past the Preliminary Round of the Caf CL before this season, and only had to defeat Fomboni of the Comoros to reach the First Round this season.
