Miguel Cardoso believes that his side suffered from fatigue during their defeat to Al-Hilal in the CAF Champions League.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso is of the thought that the Brazilians began to tire out during their 2-1 loss against Al-Hilal following their trip to Rwanda this past Friday.
As it stands, Sundowns are now three points behind table toppers Al-Hilal after four matches played in Group C.
Adding to their intense travel schedule, Sundowns will take on Gomora United in the Nedbank Cup on Wednesday before making their way to Congo this coming weekend for a clash against Saint-Eloi Lupopo.
“Despite changing a few players in the team compared to the previous match, it was clear that we were tired,” Cardoso said after the match, as per the Sowetan.
“Despite it looking close, we had to make a trip and it was clear in certain moments that the team was a little bit tired and you feel that by the number of mistakes that you make.
“Now it’s time to go back home and see who’s in the best condition to play because that cup competition is also very important to us, and then after that we start thinking about Lupopo.”
