CAF Champions League Final: Can Sundowns Secure Victory Over Pyramids?

The first leg of the CAF Champions League final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Pyramids FC is set to take place at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday. The return match will be held in Cairo a week later. Sundowns, who won the competition in 2016, are considered favorites due to their consistent performance in recent years. This marks Pyramids FC’s debut in the final.

The Egyptian team has proven itself strong, finishing second in their national league behind Al Ahly. They boast experienced players, including a top-class target man and a skilled holding midfielder from the DRC.

Sundowns have a well-coordinated team with many players from Bafana Bafana and are led by coach Miguel, who has been praised for his leadership. Players like Lucas Ribeiro and Mokwena are expected to receive accolades this season.

The match promises to be challenging but exciting as both teams bring experience and skill to the field.
