Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has urged the club’s fans to support the team after returning to winning ways in style against Richards Bay on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goals from Tashreeq Matthews (brace), Iqraam Rayners and Malibongwe Khoza earned the champions a comprehensive 4-1 win over the Natal Rich Boys in the Betway Premiership match played at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Tshwane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the perfect response to Masandawana’s midweek defeat to Lamontville Golden Arrows in a league clash and Cardoso has pleaded with the supporters to rally behind the team at all times after the team reclaimed the Betway Premiership top spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly, you can have a bad day, but you cannot have two. It’s a very difficult pitch to play football unfortunately and for a team that wants to play good football, it\u2019s very hard. But the boys knew that it should not relate to that, but the capacity they have and they started very strong,\u201d the Portuguese tactician told SuperSport TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was important to start strong, start scoring, get the confidence, don\u2019t allow hopes because sometimes when you cannot score, you create doubts in yourselves and after that, not the result you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just want to tell again Masandawana family again to support the team, it\u2019s just a team with a lot of new players that have just arrived, some of them and the team is growing, it\u2019s going to grow. Obviously, sometimes setbacks don\u2019t help, but that\u2019s got a lot to do and a lot to achieve,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLooking forward with enthusiasm, involving everybody, it\u2019s the only way to achieve results and that\u2019s how Sundowns has built the power and forest that\u2019s been in the last years, and that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to continue to be.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sundowns have turned attention to October 4’s Carling Knockout Round of 16 clash against Marumo Gallants, which will also be played at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
