He reaffirms their love for the club and adds that their mission is to add to Sundowns’ success and winning the inaugural AFL is their priority.
“We always want to contribute to the team’s success and it hurt us that we were not able to partake in the Galaxy game,” Kekana reflects.
“But we were able to watch, I think the game had just started when we landed in Angola from Ivory Coast. We were able to watch the rest of the game, I think from the 20th minute up until the end.
“It showed the character we have in the team after going two goals down and one man down, we forced the game into penalties.
