Mokoena admits Young Africans gameplan stifled Sundowns

'We didn't create as many chances as we usually do. It was a really tough game,' said the Sundowns midfielder.

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena has given an honest assessment of the frustrating goalless draw away to Young Africans in Tanzania on Saturday. Mokoena admits that the Tanzanian champions forced them to change their game plan in a match where they failed to create clear-cut chances in the first leg of the Caf Champions League quarterfinal encounter.

“We didn’t create as many chances as we usually do. It was a really tough game. They were very solid at the back, they closed the spaces in the middle and forced us to play on the side which is something we don’t normally do. I think their plan really worked.”Before Sundowns can think about the second leg, they first have a small matter of Richards Bay, who will visit Loftus Versfeld today for a DStv Premiership clash.
