“First it’s to get three points, the target is to move as close as possible to ten.” Rhulani Mokwena told the Mamelodi Sundowns FC website.

“History tells you that the lowest number of points to come out of the group stages is 4. But we want to try to get us as close as possible to 10 points.

“That guarantees you more or less a position in the knockouts and so three points regardless of the scoreline is very important [and] a clean sheet.”
