Sundowns coach impressed with Bafana winger

“Second half I think we made some very intelligent substitutions. The Monare change was a big one, the Appollis change was a big one.” Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi said as quoted as IdiskiTimes.

“For me, this boy is one for the future. This Appollis, I believe he could’ve done so much more for us had he had more opportunities at this tournament.

“He could’ve even had an assist in this match. It would’ve been nice to see [Jayden] Adams in this match, because I do believe that learning would’ve helped.”

“These are panthers. No one can bow their head in front of them. If they also had technique, they were €70 to €80 million players.”
