Mamelodi Sundowns' Miguel Cardoso: We Are Struggling, But We Are Alive

Much like their cross-town rivals Orlando Pirates , Mamelodi Sundowns will have the unenviable prospect of travelling to Egypt with only a win being good enough to advance to the Caf Champions League final in Cairo on Friday.

Sundowns were held to a goalless draw by Al Ahly in their first-leg semi-final at Loftus Versfeld over the weekend.

The Brazilians had the majority of possession with 74 of the ball, but despite eight shots at goal, they were unable to muster a single one on target.

That will be a worrying stat indeed, and something that Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso will have to rectify in a short space of time.

We didnt score, we are alive, we are struggling, and I believe that we can finish the job over there in Cairo, said Cardoso.
