Adams Will Want To Take His Blistering Form To The Continent For Mamelodi Sundowns

Midfielder Jayden Adams has proven to be a saviour of some sorts for both Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana in recent days, scoring crucial goals.

Adams found the back of the net in back-to-back games for Bafana during their World Cup qualifiers last week, securing victories against Lesotho and Benin. He then carried his form into club football, scoring the decisive goal late in extra time to help the Brazilians defeat Sekhukhune United in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final.

It has been an impressive few days for the 23-year-old, justifying why Sundowns went all out to sign him from Stellenbosch in January. Now, he will need to take his blistering form and goal-scoring abilities to the continental stage as Sundowns return to the CAF Champions League in Pretoria this week.

Sundowns will host Esperance in the first leg of the quarter-final on Tuesday kick-off 3pm in a match they must win to take a step closer to the semi-finals. This contest will also serve as a chance for revenge, as Esperance then coached by Sundowns current manager Miguel Cardoso eliminated them in the semi-finals last season.

That is why Cardoso and his team will put their faith in Adams to continue his fine form on Africas grandest stage. Many believe Sundowns signed Adams specifically for continental football, as he arrived just in time for CAFs player registration window.
