Esperance Sportive de Tunis coach Maher Kanzari has cautioned Mamelodi Sundowns that they will face a challenging match in Tunisia in the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals following a loss in Tshwane.
The Betway Premiership reigning champions narrowly defeated The Blood and Gold 1-0 in a contested encounter at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, thanks to Peter Shalulile's goal in the second half.
Espérance will face off against Miguel Cardoso's star-studded side in the second leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday, April 8, at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès, Tunisia.

Kanzari has said his team will be ready to turn around the Champions League tie as he sent a warning to Masandawana, insisting that Esperance will approach the match differently when playing at home.
"It's two legs, the first one was here, they have an advantage of 1-0, but in the second leg we will do our best to get through," Kanzari told the media after the match.
"It will be a big game in Tunisia, if they score one, we can score three and go through, we will be playing attacking football and I'm confident we will win.

"We conceded a goal that I can say it was a lack of concentration but beside that it could have been a nil-nil, but as I said a big game in Tunisia and we will go for a win," he added.
"They had no clear cut opportunities than the mistakes that we made. I don't think possession makes the game, in Tunisia we will play a different ball game."
