Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has disclosed that their CAF Champions League second leg tie against Remo Stars is not over yet.
Recall that Sundowns thrashed Remo Stars FC 5-1 on Sunday, in the first leg of the second round of the CAF champions league at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex, Abeokuta.
Reacting after the game, Cardoso erred on the side of being over-cautious, saying the tie is not decided just yet and he wants Downs to be serious in the return leg.

“It is important we understand that this is the first match; of course there is a big difference in the score, but we respect football, and to do that is to go into the second match with a serious approach,” Cardoso said in his post-match press conference on Sunday.
“The qualifying round is not finished, and Sundowns will be serious in the second match as they were today [Sunday].
“Congratulations to my players for the work they did and the commitment they had. Even at half time, we spoke a lot about the energy we needed to bring in the second half, even where we were ahead by two [goals], and I think they received the message well as they had the commitment to score many goals.”

These are the same home based some people have said should be our super eagles. Dreamers!
The league is dead in Nigeria.
Mamelodi beating the league winner by 5 goals to 1 in Nigeria.
The league is not dead yet. It is on live support.
Semo Stars were too shell-shocked that they could not release a statement, no matter how watery the excuse is going to be.
The same Semo Stars made up the bulk of the CHAN team that were thoroughly whipped blue, black, and purple by Sudan 4-0.
Behold, the NPFL champions!
What a joke of a league!
Yet, the NPFL chairman is still very much in office, getting paid fat salaries for failure after failure.
Ndi Westerhof used to use homebased players haved suddenly gone mute……..LMAOOoo. Enemies of progress who mistake delusion for patriotism……LMAOoo.
May their tongues cleave to their mouths forever.
To think Mamelodi Sundowns roasted the champions of Nigerian league without leaving gear 1 makes it even more insulting………LMAOooo
Ndi homebase players are great for the Super Eagles. Ngwa NPFL players are the best in Africa. How market na?. May I never see my back without using a mirror. Mtchhw
