CAPE TOWN - Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies have turned the CAF Women’s Champions League qualifiers into a one-horse race after winning each of the opening matches 6-0 and without conceding a goal in Durban over the past three days.
The qualifiers in Durban are for the Cosafa (Council of Southern Africa Football Associations) region, and only the winner will advance through the continental finals in Egypt in November.
Sundowns whipped Lesotho Defence Force 6-0 in their opening match, and then handed out the treatment to Manzini Wanderers of Eswatini. With these two wins, Sundowns have moved to the top of Group A standings.
One game at a time.
