Mamelodi Sundowns – Imitating the feat

Mamelodi topped Group B on seven points without conceding any goal in the process. Their concern will be that they only scored twice, but their defensive solidness was the key to seeing them reaching the semis in style.

Massandawana made it clear from the start that they want to imitate their men’s team who won the CAF Champions League in 2016, and now they are just two steps away from this dream.

What they said

“We are in the semifinals, it’s a big game. We’ve seen Malabo Kings many times, they’re a good team, very physical and we know what to expect from them,” Jerry Tshabalala, Coach.

Malabo Kings – A need to rebound

Malabo Kings rebounded from their opening defeat to beat the hosts Wadi Degla, and after a final group stage draw, they need to rebound again if they are to reach the final.

They will need their star striker Drepoba Stephanie Gbogou who scored three goals in the group stage to be at her top form once again.

What they said

“Mamelodi Sundowns is a very strong team as a whole; their goalkeepers are good, and their midfield is compatible,” Ruben Garcia Gallego, Coach.
