Sundowns qualified for this stage as runners-up of Group C with Stade Malien topping Group D.
Cardoso says they have learnt that most teams struggled with Stade Malien’s physicality in the group stages.
However, he believes that his side has enough experience to deal with such opponents.
“It’s a team that has a lot of physicality, in some moments, some teams suffered a lot with that in the group stages,” said Cardoso.
“But also, that physicality can play against you because also sometimes there are more attractions on the ball…let’s see.
“But Sundowns players have experience also and if they take it to the limit and understand how to approach the game tactically and strategically, probably it can work.”
