Mamelodi Sundowns chairman Tlhopie Motsepe has backed the team to right their wrongs from the first leg of the CAF Champions League against Egyptian team Pyramids.

The Brazilians head into Sunday’s second-leg clash in Cairo on the back foot after conceding in injury time to draw 1-1 in Pretoria.

Sundowns need a draw with goals or a win to lift the trophy, and Motsepe is confident.

“We have a big chance. Being African champions again is something we’ve longed for. We are one step away from achieving it,” Motsepe said this week.

“If we were to rewind to the start of the season and you asked if we would love to be in this position—one game away from the CAF Champions League title—we would take it. It’s what we plan for every season.”

Kickoff for the match on Sunday will be at 19H00, live on SuperSport 202 and SABC 3.
