Up The Brazilians

Congratulations to Mamelodi Sundowns for managing to outplay the Red Devils in their very own background.

That is a very good achievement looking at the standard of football that Al Ahly is playing, they’re a good side and a tough opponent to every team they come across. For Sundowns to walk away with three points away from home in such a big continental competition is not just awesome, but a very big achievement. Remember, that was the game which the whole of Africa was looking forward to seeing.

Ever since Pitso Mosimane left Sundowns to join Al Ahly, the two teams’ rivalry started. Every time they meet, Africa stands on its feet to see who comes out victorious.

It is one of the biggest games in Africa, it is actually an African derby.

I’m a Kaizer Chiefs fan and obviously Sundowns is not one of my favourite teams but playing in Africa they represent me as well and I’m very happy for their success. For the fact that this win might put Pitso’s job on the line, that should be an issue for another day. In Sundowns, the country is well represented and so am I as the citizen of this Republic.

I’m not just following football for the sake of following it, but I am a football fanatic. Congratulations once again to the technical team and their troops for the victory.
