Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso had nothing praise for his side after claiming a 2-1 win over Asian champions Al Ahli on Saturday.

A brace from Nuno Santos guided Sundowns to a 2-1 win at Loftus Versfeld, as they advance to the Challenger Cup.

Cardoso remembered the late Jayden Adams, who he claims was there in spirit for the team.

“In this moment, let’s look in the sky and embrace our brother Jayden Adams. It’s his soul today that gave us the strength and let’s remind Khuliso Mudau that’s also his injury. It’s important we respect the game, but we don’t respect no one,” Cardoso told SuperSport after the game.

“Don’t take me wrong, I mean respect what’s happening in the pitch, fight harder to have the ball, be humble for that but be proud to be yourselves. I said I want Sundowns on the pitch today and we had it. Thank you very much South Africa.

“Thank you very much Mamelodi Sundowns, this one is for this beautiful people here, all of them, for our chairman, the players, Mr Flemming, beautiful moment.

“Let’s embrace also because it’s a beautiful moment today, it’s a big, big one this one that will stay in the history forever,” Cardoso said.
