Ncikazi – Why Downs Have Advantage In CAFCL Final

Orlando Pirates interim coach Mandla Ncikazi believes that Mamelodi Sundowns are in a favourable position to come victorious in the CAF Champions League second leg final against Pyramids FC on Sunday.

The Brazilians were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by the Egyptian outfit courtesy of Walid El Karti’s 94th-minute strike which cancelled out Lucas Ribeiro’s opener.

Ncikazi reckons that Sundowns’ continental experience will get them over the line based on their good away record.

“Sundowns are at a stage where they are representing the country, they’re no longer representing the team,” Ncikazi said on Ayanda Nyuswa’s YouTube Page.

“We support them. Sundowns have done it before. I thought they’ve had results where the results were not favourable for them when they’re here, they go away and get a result.

“I think they’re experienced enough to find a result away from home, and remember this CAF, scoring a goal away from home – so they just need to score one goal, they can still.

“They have a favour score. Score two goals, if it’s more than one, 2-2, 3-3.

“So, for me it favours them. The result favours them than Pyramids.”
