Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso was furious after their late equalizer against AS FAR Rabat in their final CAF Champions League group stage encounter.
Despite taking an early lead through Peter Shalulile and creating numerous scoring opportunities, Sundowns conceded a crucial goal in the 83rd minute to Amin Zouhzouh, denying them top spot in Group C.
In his post-match interview, Cardoso lambasted his players for their lack of focus and their inability to seal the victory when they had the game under control.
“Bitter sensation was when we arrived here that the group was very difficult,” he told SABC Sport.
‘YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS’
“This was a very tough group from the very beginning and the situation was not comfortable. So, arriving here and going through the group stage I think it was obviously an accomplishment.
“Obviously, that’s when we’re winning the game with 20 minutes to finish in total control of the game. We didn’t expect to get the draw, we expected to finish the game and win.
“It’s football and you need to pay attention to the details. I think it’s a little bit stupid goal the one that we suffered and, in the end, of course you don’t get first position.
“Let’s speak about what we gonna do in the next moment. Let’s wait for the draw and see what will happen then.”
