Sundown’s goalkeeper, Ricardo Goss, says they expect a tough league encounter against the KwaZulu-Natal side, who are looking to make home advantage count under new head coach Dimitar.
Goss says, “Look, they got a young team, they are exciting, they run, they got energy, we know that they will want to run at us, and probably think that we are tired. But we think we have experience; if we apply that and apply ourselves in the game, we think we can come away with three difficult points.”
