Sundowns were worthy winners of the competition for a fifth time as they created far more chances against a below-par Celtic side that lacked attacking creativity.
"Our game plan worked perfectly as we denied the Celtic dangermen Letsoalo and Mabena scoring opportunities," said Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane."It was really tough out there and I decided against taking off our tiring captain Hlompho Kekana late in the match because we needed his leadership." "The real Celtic did not pitch up tonight, but I am still proud of my boys for reaching the final and finishing in the top half of the league table," said the former Malawi star.
Celtic did not threaten until the final minute of the opening half when veteran Uganda goalkeeper Denis Onyango did well to tip over a looping Letsoalo header.Sirino was unlucky not to break the deadlock on 58 minutes when his close-range shot left Chaine stranded only for the ball to rebound off the post, but he had the last laugh.
