Mamelodi Sundowns defender Mosa Lebusa says his side are prepared for the CAF Champions League clash against Maniema Union.
Downs will be looking to advance to the ground stages of the competition when they host Maniema at Loftus Versveld Stadium at 16:00 today.
The two teams played to 2-2 draw in Kinshasa, Congo, last week, a draw that gives Masandawana the away goal advantage.
“We are a bit disappointed considering that we gave them those two goals, it was our silly mistakes that we made,” Lebusa told club’s media department.
“They are not a bad side, they are a team that plays in your face and they don’t give you a chance. We learnt from that game, this coming Sunday we have to dig deep as a team and as players, we have to make sure that team goes through to the group stages.”
“Out wide they have good individuals who are really direct, they don’t waste time and go straight at you.
“They get the ball forward to the strikers, from there they play it out wide to put in a cross and that’s what we are expecting.
“At Sundowns the schedule is always about the next one, so we are prepared for our next assignment. Luckily we are (playing) at home, we will do what’s required of us.
“We are a build up team, we try to be as patient as possible during the build up, I think I was caught indecisive. As a player when you counter such moments you feel like the ground can just open up and swallow you, but the game had just started, we knew that we had to dig deep from there.
“After committing such a mistake, I myself as well needed to be bigger than my mistake. On Sunday we have to be aware of such, minimize our mistakes and make sure that we don’t give them a chance within the box.”
