Thapelo Morena: Mamelodi Sundowns won’t underestimate Swallows

Thapelo Morena has warned his teammates not to underestimate Mbabane Swallows in their CAF Champions League second-round qualifier second leg.

The Brazilians lead their Premier League of Eswatini opponents 4-0 from the first leg after a brace from Lucas Ribeiro Costa and a goal apiece from Mosa Lebusa and Iqraam Rayners.

The two sides come face to face again at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

Ahead of the clash, Morena called on his teammates to retain their focus.

He said in the Citizen: “The most important thing for us as players is to focus our minds on the game and not take it for granted because we’re 4-0 up.

“Like the coach said, it will be a difficult one. They have quick players and we made sure (in the first leg) that we scored early and contained them and played our normal football.”

Morena added: “I think for me, the most important thing is the badge. We’re playing for a big team that we all know we have to put in the right space.”
