Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso was full of praise for the ‘fantastic’ win over Golden Arrows, while pointing out his side scored ‘four goals’ on the day.
There was lot of riding for the duo heading into the clash after the Brazilians lost the first-leg and needed a victory outright to stay alive as the coach hailed the display as fantastic and beautiful.

With victory secured, the four-time champions will face holders Orlando Pirates who are gunning for an unprecedented fifth successive title following their 4-0 aggregate win over Sekhukhune United on Saturday.
“It’s not easy here to win 4-2, today we made a fantastic, beautiful result. Four goals scores so fantastic, fantastic anyway we know what we had to do – the first goal will be very emotional positive, we knew that we had to circulate a lot the ball until we find the way there and from there the drop in energy on Arrows will happen,” Cardoso told SuperSport TV.
“Also, we knew the second goal would kill the game but make it very difficult than the away goals will not be on our other side and we worked on that of course. I think the team deserved, congratulations today, positive mindset, right attitude established and very good behaviour on the pitch. But then we have to come here again in one week and in the middle – let’s prepare Milford,” he added.
Conceding goals in the manner that they did was a bitter pill to swallow, but the work continues for the Brazilians who makes a clarion call to remain tight-knit and doesn’t look individual mistakes of the players.
“Sure, sure, again we suffered goals from a mistake in a ball that we used, something the boys really need to take into consideration because we’re being penalised individually, characterised by here and then individual mistakes.
“Anyway, for me it’s always looking at the right side of the question and see how the boys worked today. It’s very difficult for me to complain on a player that loses the ball but run for 90 minutes and put so much effort,” Cardoso said.
“Let’s continue work, put to effort, correct the mistakes, become stronger, away from these fantastic ambience from our supporters who feel they understood the message from previous match and again today I repeat it’s not easy to win here 4-2.
