“The resistance was not strong. But don’t be deceived by this. Because in Angola it will be a different story.'

Petro were outclassed by a clinical‚ if unspectacular‚ Downs to the extent that Brazilians coach Pitso Mosimane has identified the return trip to Angola in January as‚ while certainly far from easy in no doubt hostile conditions‚ potentially a source of a quarterfinal-clinching victory.

Downs‚ after one game‚ top the 2019-20 Champions League’s Group C after its other heavyweights‚ USM Alger and Wydad Casablanca‚ played to a 1-1 draw in a North African derby in Algeria. “To be honest the resistance [from Petro] wasn’t that big‚” Mosimane said after a professional outing from his team at Loftus‚ but one where he felt Sundowns could have scored two more goals had they been more convincing."But we found our passing lines easier‚ we could find our guys in the middle [Rivaldo Coetzee and Andile Jali] who could control the game.

“The resistance was not strong. But don’t be deceived by this. Because in Angola it will be a different story. “I’m a little bit unhappy with my team in the final third. I think when they realised that we could free-play‚ free-flow‚ we were stuck on the idea of the free-flow‚ rather than being shrewd and really taking the game as early as possible with a good lead.Sundowns might not have clicked on the night.
