Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Marcelo Allende says his outfit ultimate objective is to secure qualification to the semifinals of the CAF Champions League campaign.
The South African giants’ heads into the return fixture against Esperance with the advantage following their 1-0 triumph in the first leg clash. Peter Shalulile’s decisive strike at Loftus Versfeld made the difference in the first leg.
Esperance will play host in a crucial encounter against Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday in Tunisia.
And Allende has boldly declared that the South African giants are not traveling merely to defend their slender 1-0 first-leg lead but to claim another win against Esperance de Tunis.
“It was a tough match against a strong opponent, but we’re happy with the win,” the Chilean playmaker said. “Now, we’re fully focused on the away leg—our goal is to finish the tie and qualify.” He said.
The Chillean international is expected to play a huge role for Mamelodi Sundowns as the club chase qualification to the last four of the competition.
