Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso was full of praise for newly-promoted Milford FC after securing a 2-0 win in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday night.
Goals from Iqraam Rayners and Antonio van Wyk guided the Brazilians to maximum points at Loftus Versfeld, while maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.
The Portuguese tactician, however, was quick to remind the South African football community that Milford are a team to be reckoned with.
“As we expected, only for people who maybe not paying attention on South African football, is surprised about the quality of this team that we played against Milford today. Last year, they not only made promotion to the PSL but also who they beat on their way to the final (semi-finals) of the Nedbank Cup,” Cardoso told SuperSport after the game.
“They beat Sekhukhune, Orlando Pirates, this a team that plays very good football and we should be happy because South Africa understood that it’s possible to play beautiful football and I’m very happy that we won the game.
He continued, “We knew what team and kind of football we have to play against, when you make so many changes obviously the team has to find some connections that we look for during all the first half and just with the substitutions we settled down.
“Obviously, the goals give credit and justify our victory. I think well done to the boys the way they were committed, but brave very good match from both sides finally, finally, finally bravo,” he added.
Sundowns will be back in action on Sunday afternoon against Golden Arrows.
