Downs’ operation conquer Cairo plot revealed

Mamelodi Sundowns left-back Divine Lunga is being upfront about how they hope to settle matters with Al Ahly on Friday at the Cairo International Stadium.

Sundowns are away in the Egyptian capital where they will play against Ahly in front of their vociferous followers in a match to determine who proceeds to the final of this year’s CAF Champions League.

The first leg of this semifinal ended goalless between the two teams now ranked first and second on the CAF 5-year ranking system.

These are opponents who have played seven draws while winning five each in 17 meetings since their first in the 2001 Champions League final.

"I think it will not be an easy game just like it was in Pretoria, but we will put our A game so that we can win the game.

"We don’t want to go to the penalties because penalties are like gambling.

"We have to do our best to put in our A game so that we can manage to score and win the game in 90 minutes," says Lunga who is not deterred by what will greet them at the Cairo venue.

"Playing in a big stadium is not a new thing for us as we have national team players who always play before huge crowds.

"It is a normal game for us, and we will do our best," says Lunga.
