IMamelodi Sundowns izodlala ne-AS FAR eRabat ngeSonto futhi kungenzeka ilahlekelwe u-Aubrey Modiba ngenxa yokulimala umsipha.
Umqeqeshi uMiguel Cardoso usole ukufukuza kakhulu ekulimaleni komdlali ngemuva kokuthi aMasandawana edlale imidlalo eyisikhombisa yeligi ezinsukwini ezingu-21.
Umqeqeshi oyinhloko uMiguel Cardoso ulindele ukuthi u-Aubrey Modiba aphuthelwe umlenze wesibili wamanqamu weChampions League bedlala ne-AS FAR eRabat ngeSonto.
UModiba ushaye i-free kick egqamile okwenza iSundowns yahamba phambili ngegoli elilodwa emlenzeni wokuqala eLoftus Stadium. Uphume enkundleni sekuzophela umdlalo ngenxa yokulimala okusolakala ukuthi kuthinteke umsipha. Akalimazwanga omunye umdlali.
“Ake sibone ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngo-Aubrey, kodwa mhlawumbe angeke adlale,” kusho uCardoso.
Ukulimala kuyikhathaza kakhulu iBafana Bafana ngaphambi kowamanqamu weNdebe yoMhlaba yeFifa ka-2026.
ISundowns idlale imidlalo eyisikhombisa yeBetway Premiership ezinsukwini ezingu-21.
Iqembu lifuna ukunqoba isicoco salo sesibili seChampions League eminyakeni engu-10 ngemuva kwesokuqala.
Ukugijima kwabo kwezicoco zeligi eziyisishiyagalombili kulandelana kungase kuphele ngemuva kokuhlulwa yiTS Galaxy. Bangenelwe amagoli amathathu bashaya amabili.
ISundowns isazowina iligi uma i-Orlando Pirates ihluleka wukushaya i-ORBIT College ngoMgqibelo.
ISundowns ilahle amathuba okushaya igoli lesibili eLoftus. Isiwombe sesibili siqale sekwephuzile ngenxa yokuthi uhlelo lomsizi kanompempe (VAR) belungasebenzi. Womabili amaqembu avumelene ngokudlala ngaphandle kwayo.
UCardoso uthe bathwale kanzima ekuqaleni kodwa badlale isiwombe sesibili esihle.
“Okubaluleke kakhulu wukuthi siyazi ukuthi singaqhudelana kuleli zinga namaqembu ahamba phambili,” usho kanje.
ISundowns kumele idlalele ukunqoba eMorocco. Amagoli asekuhambeni abalwa kabili. Uma iSundowns ishaya igoli eRabat, i-AS FAR izodinga ukuthi ishaye amagoli amathathu ukuze iwine.
“Kuyinzuzo iqembu okumele liyilwele. Kuzoba ngumdlalo onzima,” kusho uCardoso.
