Sundowns face Cape Town City FC in their opening DStv Premiership match of the season on Friday, but Downs winger Themba Zwane warns they will need to be at their best against a very good side away from home.
Last season, Sundowns dominated the league, winning 19 matches along with three losses and eight draws enroute to claiming the title. On Friday night they will be up against CT City, who finished runners up in last season’s league race and like Downs have qualified to play in the CAF Champions League this season.
In an interview carried by the Sundown’s website, the 33-year-old Zwane admits that City are a very good side and his teammates will need to stay fully focused throughout the match to grab a positive result.

“Cape Town City is a good team, we need to be more organized and be more focused,” said Zwane.
“We need to finish off the game because we are playing away, and when they are at home, they are aggressive and we need to be aggressive also.”
Zwane added that he hopes there will be plenty of their fans at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night to cheer them on.
“We need supporters to come in numbers, they always push us to win games and we feel happy when they are around. Supporters can expect to see an aggressive game with goals when we face Cape Town City,” Zwane added.
