Mamelodi Sundowns are determined to put their recent domestic cup disappointment behind them when they face AmaZulu FC on Tuesday night.
Masandawana were left frustrated following their elimination from the Nedbank Cup, ending their hopes of adding another piece of silverware this season. However, defender Khulumani Ndamane has made it clear that the squad’s focus has already shifted to the next assignment.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the 22-year-old admitted the disappointment lingered in the camp but stressed the importance of moving forward.
“We were not fine following our exit in the Nedbank Cup, but that has happened, and we need to move forward and focus on the next game. The coach told us to focus on this one game we are playing on Tuesday, so that’s what we are doing now,” said Ndamane.
Under head coach Miguel Cardoso, Sundowns are now fully locked in on their league campaign as they continue playing catch-up to Orlando Pirates in the race to defend their Betway Premiership crown.
The Brazilians know there is little margin for error, especially against an AmaZulu side that has found form in recent weeks.
“I think it’s going to be a difficult game because AmaZulu have been doing well in their last few matches. So, we’ll need to focus on this game and ensure that we stick to the game plan. It will be important for us to win this game.”
The clash is set to take place at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday, February 24, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30.
