Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has opened up on his costly early error following defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The South African giants fell short to the Bundesliga powerhouse in in their second Group F clash on Saturday. The match, held at the TQL Stadium ended 4-3 in favour of the German giants.
Despite dominating possession and creating more chances, Sundowns couldn’t find a late equalizer.
Serhou Guirassy’s close-range header and Jobe Bellingham’s sharp finish gave Dortmund a two-goal cushion before halftime. Things got worse for Sundowns when Khuliso Mudau turned the ball into his own net to make it 4-1.
Sundowns refused to go quietly. Iqraam Rayners nodded home from a set piece before substitute Lebo Mothiba grabbed a stoppage-time goal to cut the gap to one.
“It’s tough to concede a goal like that, but we’re a team that takes risks, and before I received the ball, I saw Tebza (Teboho Mokoena), but he got an instruction from Marcelo (Allende) to pull away. So yes, it was just one of those unlucky situations. But we’ll learn from it and keep moving forward”
With one game left, the South African champions now turn their focus to Fluminense in what could be a make-or-break clash. Sundowns will take on Fluminense on June 25th at the Hard Rock Stadium.
